Morning all, was up early, for me that is, and after breakfast set off for my last run of W7 πŸƒπŸƒ

Set off just after 7.30 for the warm up and boy did I need it, I started doubting whether T-shirt and shorts was a good idea 😱 but after starting my run, I was soon warmed up 😎

My intention was to run 2.5mls this week and I did it.....even managing a burst for the last minute!

Feeling rather pleased with myself and set myself up nicely for W8 πŸƒπŸƒ

Happy running guys, enjoy the weekend πŸƒπŸƒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ˜€

Thanks JB, I walked home, took about 10mins or so so a nice cool down 😊

Hi Ted

Me to! Half an hour behind you. Put a light layer over the top as a bit damp and chilly by the canal.πŸƒ

Weird how quickly you can warm up. If it’s chilly when you walk out of the door, it’s natural to want to wrap up.....feels odd changing your mindset 😊

Happy Running Diana πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Well done Ted, sounds like you had a great run πŸ€—

Huge respect to everyone who can run in the morning - I really wish I could, but I’m obviously not designed for it πŸ™„πŸ˜†

So pleased you’ve got week 7 in the bag. Excited to see what 8 brings for you 😊

Have a lovely weekend ☺️

Thanks HITC, I don’t normally do early runs but I’m on babysitting duties with the grandchildren the rest of the day so had no choice. However, I will do them again as it really sets you up for the day 😎

That sounds like a lovely run, Ted! Well done! You are progressing nicely through the programme. πŸ˜€

I went out this morning too, and although I got very warm very quickly, I was grateful for my buff as the air was chilly on my lungs!

Week 8 - enjoy!
