W6R2 complete - things I learned along the way

[scalmac]

So after a dismal time on W6R1 i had hit a wall.... But posts from Jay66UK & Pancakes gave me the push I needed to not give up. I am just back from W6R2, I'm not enjoying any kind of high, I really had to grind for that last 5 mins but here's a few things I learned:

A steak slice and bottle of Lucozade do not a good pre run meal make

The sun brings out all the people on the canal path... Makes it a bit more challenging maintaining a steady pace. Plus one feels obliged to look the part of a runner and not like a carrier bag being blown along in a strong breeze

In Falkirk today there is an oddly high number of older bald headed men driving around in BMW Z3s with the top down

A friend of mine who runs suggests doubling your hydration routine on rest days, I think I need to start doing that

Lastly, if you've gotten this far down my inane drivel, I learned that even when I think I can't do it.... Actually I can

Happy trails all 😁😁

Well done! Won't be long until your shiny Graduation badge is reflecting off the heads of those bald BMW drivers! ⭐️🌞

Love the comments about the steak slice and the carrier bag that’s exactly how I feel

Well Done, keep it up. Have you considered that it may have been the same men who kept driving past to see this amazing tornado?

Thanks everyone.....given the last year or two that have been a little bumpy it's lovely to have a feeling of being in a 'team' again....
