This evening DD2 has refused to come running with me - but DD1 wanted company so she didn’t have to run in the dark on her own. Excellent! She’s not working through any plan, but just wants to run/walk as she feels like it. I said that was fine, but I was going to do W5r1, so we’d just do our own thing and try and stay in contact as we could.
We agreed to head off down the main road for a change, and off we went. The first five minute run was great - went far quicker than I expected, definitely conversational pace, and she managed the whole five minutes with me! Nice walk, and soon we were running again.
The second five minutes were ok too, although DD1 walked after about 3 minutes. I kept going though, and made it through to the end still feeling pretty good.
A little walk, and off we went again. Again DD ran a few minutes then walked, while I did my own thing. Towards the end she started running again, and I decided I had enough left in the tank to relax and speed up. Great fun!
So that’s week 5 started! I wasn’t quite expecting that, so it’s a real bonus 😊 Back to week 4 with DD2 next time though - probably...
