W7R1 - how things change!

First for me, after I dished up the roast dinner for all the family, I popped my plate back in the oven to keep warm & took myself out for my 25min run!

The husband was incredibly shocked, as were the kids!

Got lost in the first 20 min jog, had a stitch for the last 5! But got through it knowing a lovely dinner was waiting for me. Thankfully I’d missed them whinging about all the veg they had to eat too... winner!

Well Done! Did my Week 7 Run 1 in Parkrun yesterday - those last 5 mins are a real bugger aren't they!?!

Slacking today :-) Just back from a trip to the pub with my son to watch our beloved Brighton and Hove Albion get battered by Liverpool - again! :-(

Still have the whinging to look forward to!! xx

Yeah, I could do the Ashford one (Kent) I’ve been looking at the website!!! I’m so tempted but a bit scared to go solo

Don't be scared! I went on my own and ran on my own but got chatting to a couple people beforehand (from a Walk 2 Run group) who i'm sure I could have run with if I'd wanted to x

Well done you! Hope the lunch was good! It's the last 5 mins that get me too. Had an extra rest day today as couldn't find a time me and my sister could run together. So it's tomorrow evening..!
