Yay! That's better. I did it.

So on today's learning curve I discovered that I don't like running round and round the same route on a run. I ran somewhere different today and it was a smaller circuit. I hated seeing the same things over and over. Yawn city. I might run on a road circuit rather than a park next time.

I also lost the GPS signal and haven't got a nice little map of my run on my phone telling me my pace. I know I did it, but I can't prove it to myself visually. So irritating!

I am chuffed though. 6 sets of 1.5 minute runs. 😁

Well done.

I hate laps. Let your running take you places......... that's the fun of it.

Chuffed is good and justifiable.

Well done. I totally understand the not liking laps thing... I started out running alongside the nearby Canal but I've changed that recently due to the tow path now being a mud bath. I'm looking at changing my route again for doing the week 4 runs as of tomorrow :)

Nicely done and I agree with you on laps, we aint hamsters....
