W9 R2 Facing life without Laura

[Hericus]

I'm thinking of flunking run 3, because who am I going to chat to when Laura leaves me?

This week, she suggested I should get my own playlist together, so that's a pretty broad hint that she thinks our relationship has run its course.

I can't believe I'm the person who a few weeks ago, thought he was heading for a heart attack when the prospect of a FIVE-MINUTE (!) run was looming.

On Sunday, I did my 30 minutes for R1, then just kept going so that I could actually do a 5k. (5.6k, as it turned out.)

Nowadays when I finish, instead of worrying about a heart attack, I'm firing up my Fitbit app to check my 1km split times! I think I might be turning into a runner!

On Saturday, I'm going to do my first Parkrun, so on Thursday, for W9 R3, I shall do five laps of my local lake-shore, which is just under 6k, to give me extra confidence.

Incidentally, in case anyone's wondering if they're too old for the course, I shall be 69 in a week.

Just rely on Laura!

I’ve thought about starting with Laura for the first 5 minutes then use my own music. 😀😀👍

Hahaha!

I think Laura has done that to a lot of people! Oh well, ‘‘tis better to have loved and lost” etc...

Congratulations on doing so well with the program! Good luck for your final runs and your park run! 😀
