W6R1- oops!

So this morning I decided for a start that I def didn’t need to take my comforting bottle of water with me. I’ve been making sure I’m really well hydrated this week by using My Fitness Pal to log my water intake. Out I went with Jo cheerily telling me about this weeks run. Completed my 5 min warm up walk and sure enough Jo told me it was time to start running!

I got to a point in my route which 5 mins would usually of come and gone and jo had been eerily quiet! So I stopped for a second to find that 2 seconds into the 5 mins the app had paused itself ..... I thought to myself maybe I should just keep running and do a repeat of W5R3. Jo however had a different plan and a couple of minutes later piped up to tell me 2.5 mins had passed! Well because I’m rubbish at being defeated I decided that I really did not want to repeat a run and put myself back because I’m a stubborn arse so decided to continue on and follow through with the plan and at the end of 5 (more like 12) mins stopped and did my 3 min walk followed by the rest of week 6 run 1’s schedule!

Turns out by the end I managed over 5K!! Some of it walking admittedly but I’m pretty chuffed with myself!

Hopefully week 6 run 2 will return back to plan!

Ps please don’t tell jo..... she might get cross at me!
