Reacquainted with Julie.......

[Joy57]

I've been using mainly the Speed & Stamina podcasts but on a whim today decided to use week 9 for the first time since graduation. Well, that first 'whoosh' chord took me straight back to the hot days of September. Then there was Julie again! If you are in the first weeks of c25k this will mean nothing to you now, but will if you keep going!

There was a strange mix of mud and frost/ice on the path today, slipped once on the mud but managed not to slide into the frozen canal - always good.

Took it fairly slowly and found that I tired early today - oh well, there's always the next run! 😃

Great run! The bad ones make the good ones even better!

I ran week 9 yesterday for the first time in months, althoughi Im running three times a week up to 5k each time.

I loved hearing about Julie and her love life again, but my favorite is tbe last running track with the big band sound........lovely 👍🏼🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

[Joy57 Graduate in reply to Millsie-J]

I think I was too tired today by the time the last track came on, to listen to it properly, Jacs! I'll give it another go though 😀

[Millsie-J Graduate in reply to Joy57]

It starts 'listen...,,original business, im bringing you a new sound'!

Brilliant x

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to Millsie-J]

THAT is the very very best running track in the world. No matter how tired I am, I can always pull a bit more out of the tank when that comes on

[Joy57 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

I need to listen to it again then!

[McFitty Graduate]

Isn't it amazing how hearing Julie takes you straight back to the time and place you first met! I must admit I have a huge soft spot for our Julie 😁

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

You ran... that is all there is to it.. well done...

The conditions can make hard going and it is more tiring.. I am taking my time to avoid tree roots and am much more weary, than when I can just go!!

[Joy57 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Take it easy Oldfloss!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Joy57]

I do..don't worry🙂

.but this morning..dry cold and wonderful!!

[Joy57 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Yes - I was at work - but hoping to run sometime over the weekend.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Joy57]

I took Stamina with me...and did a speedy (for.me) 3K...18 mins..the rest of the podcast..slow and steady 🙂 So very pleased I am getting back on form after being on the IC

[Joy57 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Very well done! 6 minutes per kilometer! Impressive!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Joy57]

I am pleased... the rest of the run was much slower..

I was doing that speed over 3K before I fell and broke the ribs.. so it has been a while!

[Flossie22 Graduate]

Oh yes, I can't wait to repeat those podcasts, I miss Julie, I miss the little bunny rabbit, I miss . . . Running. Happy running to you Joy57! 👏🏻👏🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻😀😀

[AncientMum Graduate]

I love the w9 podcast and often use it when I fancy some music to help me on my way. You're never too good or too experienced a runner to run with Laura

[Joy57 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

She does the 5k+ podcasts as well so I have never really left Laura!

[Davoda Graduate]

How come I never met Julie? She's not on the app & I relistened to Laura on wk 9, but she's not there either😞

[Joy57 Graduate in reply to Davoda]

The first song on week 9 - listen again.

[Davoda Graduate in reply to Joy57]

Ah I see! Thanks

[Davoda Graduate in reply to Davoda]

I will!

[Davoda Graduate in reply to Joy57]

Listened! And yes it brought back memories!! But I'm rubbish at knowing songs😀

[Tailsmo Graduate]

My real life running buddy is called Julie. We both still use W9 and love to hear about her.

[Curlygurly2 Graduate]

I still use all the podcasts regularly, I listened to week 9 just yesterday, and I did some intervals to week 1 at the weekend. I've looked at other podcasts, I love Audiofuel, but some of them have a woman with a really irritating voice! Gotta love our Laura - and Julie!
