Finished week 6!!

[Alfietinker]

After the disbelief that I completed week 5, I’ve only gone and finished week 6!! 😁

I’m still slow and ‘ploddy’, and I was getting cross with Laura for not hurrying up and telling me I’d nearly finished, but finish I did.

Last weeks 20 months run was round and round a lake as it’s nice and flat. But a bit boring going around 3 times. So this evening I drove to the beautiful Elan Valley and went along the cycle path. The views are so lovely that I ended up doing my fastest run yet, so distraction is the way forward from now on.

Just thought I’d share, for no reason other than I can’t believe I was struggling with 1 min runs 6 weeks ago!

Wow, lucky you to get to run round Elan Valley. Yeah, I know the feeling.. where's Laura, she should have updated me by now, is the battery dead, or earphones unplugged? lol. Well done. Beautiful pic. So close to the end now, keep it up!

lol! Or when you look at the timer on the App and the seconds actually seem to last about 5 seconds

[Alfietinker in reply to Sarahbeedoonan]

Definitely, I’m sure time somehow warps when I’m waiting for the minute countdown!

Well done and great pic. Also very impressed by that “20-month run”, think I must have missed that one

I think it can, although it took me a while to move from my comfort zone and go where I might meet people! 😱

[Sarahbeedoonan in reply to Kar43]

I know! I have my W6 R3 tomorrow and am dreading it already, sore ankle, shin splints, slogging along. Dreading it but keep thinking of the euphoria afterwards. Good luck x
