W5 R1 Complete

I left the house at 8am to do this run. I had been up in the night with the baby, and really don’t consider myself a morning exercise person, but I can’t go at lunchtime and don’t want to have to spend the day waiting to go at 6pm.

So I did it! Could do without Sarah pointing out half way through 5 minute run every time, I’d rather she mixed it up and said things like “that’s three minutes and forty five seconds gone” or “surprise, you’ve finished already!”

Well done 👍 you did better than me.

I planned to get up but just lay in bed saying 10 more minutes, so will have to run later ... looks like it's going to be warm so serves me right.

I know I've seriously thought about ditching Sarah but scared incase I jinx it 🤣

Can you change to another coach and keep your progress? A different voice each time could help keep it fresh. Or is that disrespectful to Sarah...

You think if we dump Sarah for Michael or someone we might curse ourselves?! Get chased by alsatians or have to slalom around infinity potholes?

Please don't tell but I ditched Sarah and took Jo with me today 😁 made a nice change and she was quite chatty.
