Laura left me.....

[AlbertRoss]

.... or rather my phone decided not to play ball! Went out tonight thinking I might have cracked something.... currently on a free trial on Endomondo Premium, and it has this audio feedback option - great I thought, no pulling the phone out to see how close I am to 5K, it will tell me every 500m and tell me my pace to boot! It's supposed to play music as well, so having got a music app on the phone and my 35 minute version of Stepping Stone on there, off I went. Warm up was fine, off I set, but things were not to be... at the first 500m update, Laura vanished and didn't come back....

I've not run a lot without accompaniment, but decided rather than fumble around with the phone I'd just try and keep to the rhythm I was in. And I discovered that actually, I can maintain a steady, even paced 5K now even without Laura to help! The audio feedback helped, but as that was about every 3.5 minutes even so I felt rather pleased with myself to cover 5k in a shade under 35 minutes, the slowest and fastest km times being just 10 seconds different.

Now, if only I can find a way of having Laura and Endomondo to play nicely together....

Sounds like a great run and good time too! Laura can be fickle sometimes though.....
