Ok Lesson learnt - never drop your car at the dealership and decide to run home - get changed into running stuff and put clothes in rucksack to run with, did it but seriously sweaty (sorry) πŸƒπŸ»πŸƒπŸ»πŸ˜œπŸ˜œ

I am loving the rose and green combo. Carrying extra weight with the rucksack πŸŽ’ too, that's like being told you have got to go up a run... must have made a difference to your stamina and also concentration because carrying stuff is such a pain. Brilliantly done

Did you get changed in the dealership? Bet that raised an eyebrow or two.

Unless you drive a Vauxhall.

Sounds an eminently sensible plan. Why would you not do it again?

Haha yes it was a bit Clark Kent as changed from office wear! Just found the rucksack a bit restrictive especially up hills - maybe when I've done 9 weeks it will be easier!

It's great for building stamina. Get one which has chest straps as well so it doesn't move around too much, and stick a couple of bricks in there. Or a spare car battery.

Chest straps definitely make a difference (even if not running - but when wetsuit is wet!)

Wow that's some dedication. I'd be ina heap before starting the 'proper' run. Well done.

Dear goodness I must stop and read properly. You got changed and then your run, was the run home not an extra run. Still very well done, especially with the rucksack.
