Oopsy. Wrong Michael.

[AnneDroid]

So, I'm redoing C25k and this time have the app on my phone, which I didn't before.

Six weeks in and I've just discovered that I've been imagining the wrong Michael! I have believed that Michael Jordan the famous basketball player has been who's been talking to me. Turns out it's Michael Johnson the famous runner! I'm a dough ball sometimes. Pretty awesome to have either of them as my personal trainer, though.

And when the lovely chap purred into my ear that he was proud of me after yesterday's run, I felt very special.

He didn't get arms like that from just running!

No I don't suppose so!

I wouldn't mind running with either Michael tbh

[AnneDroid Graduate in reply to Hidden]

It might be hard keeping up with them.

[Hidden in reply to AnneDroid]

I wouldn't mind running behind them tbh

So you've co-opted Mr Smooth then, I find he's just the ticket for getting me out on the road. And when just very occasionally he says loudly 'yes you did it' I feel mega proud too. I know all the other voice over coaches are great, but it's Mr Smooth for me every time.

[AnneDroid Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yes, though it slightly bothers me that he's cheating on me by talking to you as well...

[Hidden in reply to AnneDroid]

Fair point you are further ahead on the programme so you got first dibs. As he's a bit of a cheat, maybe we shouldn't like him so much. But too late now I am addicted....

[Joy57 Graduate]

Why are you redoing the programme Anne? I know that you had got up to running way beyond 5k.

[AnneDroid Graduate in reply to Joy57]

The short answer - I don't know!

I had a sudden loss of fitness in the spring, accompanied with a loss of confidence. The doctor thinks I may have had a virus, but maybe that's what doctors say when they don't know what's wrong with you.

Anyway, I've been enjoying redoing the plan.

[Joy57 Graduate in reply to AnneDroid]

Oh Anne, sorry to hear that. Maybe it was a virus after all. Hope it goes well - I'm sure you'll breeze through c25k a second time 😃

[Irishprincess Graduate]

How can you mistake that gorgeous voice of Michael Johnson? I have a thing about voices and he has one of the best 😘

[AnneDroid Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Well, to be fair, your highness, neither of them have ever spoken to me before.

Ha, ha! My husband is also using Michael Jackson.....I like Laura best though

[AnneDroid Graduate in reply to skysue16]

Haha - Michael Jackson - does he sing for him between talky bits?

Oh dear, now I am getting in a muddle!! (Can I blame that on predictive text, or age 😬).
