Apparently, so the caption at the end of W4R3 said ...

Just got back from Spain at 5:00pm dropped bags and sorted out the cat, then off to the gym ...

Bit knackered, as it's been a long, tiring day, but I made my run, took it steady, and completed it ... woohoo πŸ™Œ

By the time the second five minute run was due my legs were ready to give up, but, I kept listening to Mr Johnson, and pushed on as this is when the most development happens ... Smashed it ...

Was in such a rush to get to the gym I didn't have time to remove my nail polish, (read my profile again), and became the object of gossip for two teenagers .... lol, what do I care .... I smashed it .... πŸ€”πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜Ž

Woohoo W4 in the bag..... well done you..!! πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ

That is determination..!!

I really hope that 1) the cat was pleased to see you, AND 2) the nail polish matched your tights..!! πŸ˜‰

Yes he was, he missed me by the way he's followed me around all night, and no, nice coffee colour was in contrast to my navy and blue tights and top ... maybe more co-ordination is required, that could have been their gossip, why has it only just come to me ... πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

How are you doing anyway ... when are you running ... ?

Brown and blue.... really..?? There's no excuse for that..!! No wonder you were the focus of their attentions..!! You should have gone with blue polish or orange tights πŸ™„

Did W4R2 tonight - yep, pretty good. Having trouble with hips and knees though 😫

Hey there, well done on the R2, and also well done for finding space in your luggage for your running gear ... hope it's not too hot for you, I would have struggled running outside, good job the hotel had a Gym ...

Have a great holiday, enjoy R3 and together we can crack W5 ...

May need to switch to a morning run on holiday (Crete) as usually plod out in the evening. Hotel is perched high on a hill, could be me doing laps around πŸƒ(rather than inπŸŠβ€β™€οΈ) the pool!

Have a good week !

I know, just need more tights ... πŸ™„πŸ˜‚

Seriously though, be careful with the joints, don't overdo it and put yourself out of action, slow and steady ... you are doing great ... 😊😘

...and more polish (you can never have too many of either) πŸ€—

Thank you, I'm really easing back on the 5 minute stints (so much so that, if you saw me, you'd wonder if I was actually moving at all)..!! πŸ˜‚ Doesn't seem to give too much bother when I'm running, but after the event they're pretty sore πŸ™„

Very impressive to get into the gym so quickly after your trip!

I'm sure you rocked the polish ☺️
