Week8 ✔️✔️😡

Well for my last run of this week I decided to run without the app in the background reminding me how far I had or more importantly , hadn’t run.

I set the timer and alarm on my I phone , plugged into a desert island disc and off I went. All fine until I started to plod . I knew I was nearly there due to surroundings but when looked at phone the timer had zeroed so I had no idea how long I’d gone for.

Started walking back , checked my Fitbit which said I had gone over 5k since I got up ( had. Done a bit of pottering around!) then all of a sudden the bloody alarm started going off!!!

So overall I have no idea if I really did my 28 mins and am left with the feeling of “did I or didn’t I?”

So pissed off! I know realistically I did “about” the right time but left with the feeling that I haven’t achieved anything. Help!!!

On the Fitbit app/website I think there is a breakdown of when (time of the day) and how much you walked/run.

So you should be able to calculate how much you ran for during your regular run.

If nothing this may give you peace of mind.

Well done on completing W8! Only a week to graduation now. All the best!

Thank you!

Checked it and it’s saying I ran for 29 mins!

Going to take it now as a ✔️ and move on. Thanks for the reassurance - week 9 I’m coming!

Good luck with yours too!

My fitbit does a little graph of when I exercise and usually picks up a run even if I don't tell it to...?

Move on to week 9! You know you can do 28 mins now! Well done! We'e nearly there!
