First solo flight! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Iโ€™ve just been out on my first post-graduation run and decided to be brave and ditch the app. It felt really strange not to have Sarah Millican telling me how well I was doing โ€˜petโ€™. It was liberating in a way though and I feel like a grown up!! Iโ€™ll be tying my own shoelaces next!

Enjoy your weekend running for those of you heading out over the next few days xx

It was good, although Iโ€™ll need to watch my pace I think- according to Strava I was much faster than W9R3 so just want to be careful I donโ€™t do too much too soon and undo all the hard work.

Howโ€™s your running going?

I think youโ€™re right ๐Ÿ˜‚. Park run sounds like a lovely idea. Iโ€™m going to do one in a couple of weeks I think. Enjoy!

We were 4 but last last week ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‚but I'm very sure the final 4 were the marshalls as there was no one behind us only marshalls ๐Ÿ˜‚they just tried to let us feel good for not coming last ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜

Congratulations on graduating and running your first consideration, should that not be consolidation run, feels good, I am still on week 8, I run the second 28 minute run tomorrow. Yes, you should do your park run tomorrow with your son, I am sure both of you will enjoy that.

Just come back from R2 of week 8, it went brilliant, my app told me that I had ran it in 8 seconds, (jet propelled) and I used 8 calories, of course that was rubbish, I deleted it from my phone and have installed another app for my third week run 3 28 minutes on Monday.

Ive graduated today, and Sarah has been my guide throughout too. Almost tempted to have another go at 30 mins with another โ€˜trainerโ€™, just to see how supportive they are!

Great post Beth, that made me laugh... how are the shoelaces coming along? :)

Yeah, I ended my 8-week relationship with Jo Whiley last week, and now only have the boring Strava bloke with me on runs. Heโ€™s not very encouraging though, he just pipes up every now and again to tell me Iโ€™ve done another km, and exactly how slow Iโ€™m running!

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Do you have to pay for the premium app to get the boring bloke or does he come for free?
