I normally finish my run as I crest the hill of achievement. On the warm up walk I spotted the farmers tractor sat at the top.
I later met the tractor as I was trying to do my return 10min run. The git didn’t even acknowledge me as I tried to run on the spot in the long grass so he could drive pass me.
The good side of my little encounter with the farmer was that I was a little ticked off and immediately went running down the track, around poppy corner and up the hill of achievement. I was so miffed I forgot that I was tired or that my knee was aching. I ran harder and faster than normal.
Instead of listening to Laura telling me to slow down as I reached the top of the hill, I barrelled down the other side and scared the cats half to death as I careered into the garden and then Laura said you can slow down and walk. Mishmash was a little bemused as I walked around my garden trying to get my breath back
So Wk 6 run 2 is in the bag, and I now know I need to think of the farmer or the stupid teacher in the village school when I start getting tired. tytutuffgf
Next is the big run hmmmm! 🤔

It is exactly a 5 min fast walk from my house, I start my first run down the other side. It is not the highest hill on the way back, but it is the steepest.
I normally growl to encourage myself up the hill and whoop for joy as I reach the top
That's not a hill, it's a cliff!! With a miserable git sitting at the top eating jumbo packets of crisps probably.
I'm loving your mental map: Hill of Achievement, Poppy Corner, Cat Crash Site. In a few weeks time you should print out a scale map (or drawn one) and mark up your sites of fame and hang next to your Grad badge in a Place of Pride.
I have a little hill which I always struggle with and I've called it the Hill of Doom 🤣 I'm going to re-name it now after reading your post and see if a bit of positive mental attitude gets me up it! 😆😆😆
Sounds like you have found a great source of inspiration for when you’re tired. Tractor drivers, bad teachers etc! I also like your naming of landmarks and think you need to do this map so we can all have a bit of a giggle Good luck with your next run, you will smash it!
Dont do it, there is nothing to be gained from comparing your now self to your past self. Choose a different route on flat ground, and don’t make comparisons
Coo, you've been busy. I have a hill too, which is quaintly called "Chemin de Conquête" - conquest lane. When you get to the top, you understand why...
Well done, and don't worry about the farmer, he's a grumpy git, that's all.. I had to squeeze between a tractor and a hedge today, then the driver of the tractor realised that he knew me, but hadn't recognised me in my running gear. I think his eyes hurt for the rest of the day.
