Well I didn’t feel great when i stepped out today, borrowed my daughters headphone which kept cutting out so no music or timings which felt disappointing and just couldn’t make the distance . Sand v soft but no excuses did 25 mins and felt sick 🤢 so walked the rest. Think it’s my first fail but will learn from it, more positive beginning needed, perhaps more prep with the gadgets and a better holiday list!
It was great to be outside though even on a drizzly Cornish morning 👍🏻🏃♀️🌊🌧🌧🌧🌧
25 minutes is not to be sniffed at.
You know what they say around here - don't use the F-word 
Have to say, the mere idea of running on soft sand scares me, so not surprised it was tough, especially if you weren't feeling great. But that's another 25-min run under your belt, outside in the Cornish fresh air, and in a couple of days time your running legs will be that much stronger and you'll ready to go again at w8r3.
No such thing as a fail! 25 mins is a great amount of time to run for and you've definitely got the right attitude in seeing it as a learning curve.
I've had two runs that I didn't complete one in week 7 when I attempted a stupidly steep hill and my first go at running for 30 mins (going way too fast!!). But they're two runs I wouldn't even have attempted 2 months ago.
Onwards and upwards!
Enjoy the Cornish drizzle
In what sense is running for 25 minutes a failure? Take yourself back 3 weeks and ask yourself that.
Soft sand is probably the hardest thing to try to run on - it soaks up all of your energy, the opposite of the tarmac I’ve done all my running on so far.
Pick yourself up, dust yourself down, have another go in a couple of days on a slightly easier surface. Try running along the strand line - wet sand is quite hard and “bouncy”.
Enjoy the next one x
25mins is awesome and in no sense a failure.
Thanks 🙏🏻 everyone who’s replied, you’re all helping me see this as a blip, agree 25 mins is still a positive. We’ve been on holiday here for years and always wanted to run on the beach so should see it as achieving an ambition! Hey ho next run 🏃♀️
Running on soft sand?
Running for 25 minutes?
Running without motivational music or timings?
Chalk this one up as a success!
You did fab!
Running on soft sand must be only marginally easier than running in ankle deep treacle!
W8R3...but is this common?
W8R3 done. But... 
W8R3 - overrun by tech
W5R3 fail
W8R3 - The vindictive autopilot 👨✈️
