Shaving off the seconds... but...

[Elfe5]

3rd post grad run & shaved 2 & a half mins off my last 5 K ...but still can't run as fast as Eleanor Rigby!! 😂

Might have to rethink my play list!😄

Best bit was hubby came out with me ( & rang rings round me whippet style) but reassured me that I don't look " oh dear"!! 😀

Aahah I don't normally run to the beat of the music i'm listening to but just trying to imagine running to Eleanor Rigby... no chance!

Ah thank you, I'm enjoying the whole thing of creating a playlist to run to- not least because creating any playlist is a whole new experience! 😀

Eleanor Rigby... I like the Beatles but I think the only track I've had on a playlist was Here Comes The Sun. I used Eleanor Rigby for my research project at uni over 30 years ago so still have strange feelings about it. You should definitely check out some of the suggestions for playlists made by the Retro Runners, especially if you like '80s music. Checkout Hidden 's link, or just look back at any of our previous posts for ideas.

Thank you

... and yes, grim lyrics...

Is there a reason why you want to run so quickly ? Just curious

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Lol! Not at all. Just that I had been warming up gently in my usual snail style to the measured pace of 'Skyfall' when suddenly 'Eleanor Rigby' came racing through my earphones making me instinctively thinking

"Aaaah, my legs won't go that fast!" 😀

... but even a snail can aspire to jogging a titchy bit faster than walking pace. 😃

True...very true

Well done for keeping the schedule! Mine has been a bit hectic because of work and still battling with that cold. I envy your Brubeck snail (actually more like squirrel now?) gambolling

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to Anthie]

Being a gambolling squirrel sounds very attractive, but fear that I am still a snail- I could hang onto squirrel hopes for the distant future! 😃

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to Anthie]

I must admit I am having to look ahead and plan in my running times quite carefully - it's that crazy busy Christmas term time!

The Brubeck is really good to run to - I'm planning to add some more jazz to my playlist because it jollies me along so well! 😀
