Rainy W1R1

So despite the rain made it out of the door to meet my friend. Somehow my app stopped a couple of times, must have bumped it in my pocket,so I ended up lagging 10mins behind and had extended walks in the middle.

I’m 53 and haven’t run since school so as I only just made it to the end of the runs am doubting keeping it going for longer.

I bought an arm band but didn’t wear as the rain was so heavy and I had a waterproof on. There were couple of bells??? Not sure if they were on ELO album or part of app. 🙄

This app doesn’t appear to be recognised by MFP and my Fitbit only recognised my run as a walk - but heart rate mostly cardio - so that’s something at least - hope it’s dry Wednesday!

Welcome aboard. There is a bell to signify the halfway point in the session.

Don't worry about not being able to do future runs yet just take each one as it comes.

Tech issues can really make a session tough as you lose focus and end up faffing about too much.

Weds is due to be a much better day 👍😁🌞

Less technical issues this time so managed to do all the runs and app kept going - did flag a bit with some of the runs towards the end. Kept trying to slow it down when I was struggling. Hips and buttocks achy 😖 (a physio once told me I had lazy buttocks so it’s no surprise! 😂)
