Week 8, Run 3 = Interesting! :P

[SuperMouse]

So instead of listening to my music I somehow in error managed to get an American podcast on 25 tips to make your home more secure followed by a debate on the 2nd amendment on the right to bear arms

Tried to change it to correct music at the start but as I didn't have my glasses on I couldn't see what I was doing and I also now realise that I can't seem to jog and do anything else without my legs getting tangled so I decided to just go with it!

Quite bizarrely though time seemed to go quicker than usual and before I knew it Laura was telling me I had 5 minutes left.

Whoop Whoop!! Well done SuperMouse !! So it’s Odd Pods to make the time fly by??? Never thought of that one 😂 Week 9 beckons! Sounds like you’ll be fine 👍👍👍🏃‍♀️👍

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to TailChaser]

Thank you!

I actually think I may investigate some podcasts (of something that might interest me) rather than music for my next outing!

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to SuperMouse]

I think you may have just inspired me to give a podcast a go!! X

[Jb33 Graduate]

Desert Island discs has some really good people on I especially liked Micky Flanagan. #oldfart too 😀

You’re doing really well, only 3 more runs 👏

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to Jb33]

Thank you!

I will investigate as it may be the way for me to go!

[Jb33 Graduate in reply to SuperMouse]

There’s random people on too that I’ve never heard of but there’s the likes of Ed Sheeran, Tom Hanks etc. It does put the time in.x

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to Jb33]

Thank you!

[wyersmith Graduate in reply to Jb33]

Tom Hanks! Great! Would love to listen to that. Will line him up for the 20 ‘run Forest, run...’

[wyersmith Graduate in reply to Jb33]

Yes I’ve downloaded the Mickey Flanagan one for the next run. I quite like the mix of chat and music clips. More distracting than just music, for me anyway.

[Jb33 Graduate in reply to wyersmith]

Yes the mix of music & chat really puts the time in. I think I’ll go with Nigel Owens tomorrow.

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to wyersmith]

I am definitely going to try it!

[Sarakc Graduate]

I love a podcast for a change! I listened to “Table Manners” the other day! A mother and daughter were cooking for George Ezra! 😀

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to Sarakc]

I think a whole new world may have opened up to me now!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Love it!!!! Go you!!!

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you!

[MutleyShuffle Graduate]

Ha ha! I know the feeling when you've forgotten your specs and phone is misbehaving! Well done for persevering! 😁

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to MutleyShuffle]

Ha thanks. I did think (briefly) about stopping but knew how cross I would be with myself. Amazing how listening to random chat instead of music really seemed to be helpful as a distraction for me!

[MutleyShuffle Graduate in reply to SuperMouse]

I do enjoy bobbing along to music but I might try giving a chatty podcast a try for a change... 😊

[Lillybeth30mins Graduate]

(Not that I’ve ever listened to THAT particular podcast) ... but yeah, I too am now choosing them over music.... and for me that’s quite a big deal🤔

I just find time goes much quicker. Good luck on the rest of your journey 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
