Week 6 Run 2 - dancing with a pedestrian

[MrsT82]

So today I've felt much better I'm glad I didn't try this run last night. It's weird because it felt tough during it but in the 5 minute cool down I felt like I could've done another interval. But as I found out on here earlier, that's the last interval of the program😬😬

Had to take my daughter to a swim lesson at 5:30, we usually go Saturday mornings. She worked so hard in the bigger pool that when she asked for a McDonalds after it I thought she'd bloody well earned it. Husband met us as he arrived on the bus and he went in so I wasn't tortured. So get home to him eating a cheeseburger in the kitchen (offered me a bite but red see as knew I'd regret it on the run) and Erica eating her well earned nuggets. So off I went to get ready.

Set off on the first ten minute run. Could see a guy ahead of me and was trying to work out how I could pass. Cars and vans parked on the pavement meant it would've been dangerous to go into the road as I couldn't see the traffic. So I decided to say excuse me. Maybe I shouted due to my music, who knows. But he heard me, but you know when you end up doing a little dance as you both go the same way each time? We both saw the funny side. Also had to stop to cross a mini roundabout tonight. I usually time it better but it did stop me for a few seconds but that's not cheating right? Rather that than be squished by a car or three hey? 🚗 🚙🚑🚐

My metre gain was 28 today. So the lower end of my route options but I'm planning the same for run 3. No park run due to s birthday party so run 3 is Sunday and hoping for first PR next Saturday instead 😊

Just towards the end of the cool down I could feel the rain. Looks like a storm coming right behind me.

Well done MrsT, I finished just as the rain started.

Wahay! Well done, you The only dancing I get to do is with old ladies walking their dogs - it sometimes turns into impromptu hurdling when they have those awful extendable leads. I am doubly impressed by your ability to resist the temptation of the evil MacD sandwich. All round success!

Brilliant run, dancing with strangers and car dodging too. And as everyone says obstacle dodging seconds don't count otherwise none of us would ever get a run done. Especially when running in town.... well done you and hope your next runs are as good. Nice pink face by the way, I am thinking sorbet coloured. New colour for the colour chart Signora Sorbet....
