W4R3......tick! The right music helps...

At 7am, when my alarm went off, I had soooo many excuses...but the sun was shining and off I trotted, faithful doggie at my side.

I chose an Apple playlist, 80s pop to put some spring in my step.... but the move nearly sabotaged my run as, when approaching a steeper bit half way through the first 5 minute run, the strains of ‘the only way is up’ came on and I started to laugh (startling the poor dog walker I passed at that point.

So rumours of a highland banshee...running through the woods with a faithful banshee pack at her side....that’ll be me!

Next week looks tough...not helped that I am typing this on a flight.... week 5 will start in a hotel gym,... maybe they will have one of those swanky running machines again...hope so!

"Hills"? "Steeper bit"? Are you going all mountain goat on us? (P.S. You're now more than 50% through the programme u star!)

[Katwpg in reply to sallenson]

AH - well I say hill, it were an ‘ill to us like.... who’d have thought 4 weeks ago we’d be on this site drinking Gatorade.....

[sallenson Graduate in reply to Katwpg]

Aha! So you're actually a marketing ploy by the sports drink industry! There we were thinking you were a real person with a penchant for hills....

Cunning huh?!

Congratulations on finishing the week.

Well done for the early run.

I do find your use of gradient rather intimidating...

Impossible to find enough flat bits where I live - but the downs feel great!!
