W8 R2 Daftpunk: I know I’m a runner because...

I know I’m a runner because:

1. I unconsciously increase my speed to music tempo.

2. I can consciously increase speed as people stop to wait to let me pass (really I’m slow...)

3. I can avoid dog poo/wee with seamless dexterity

4. I almost caused an accident 🙄 (but didn’t, sorry guys...)

5. Other runners smile at me

6. People wave but don’t stop to talk as a) I’m focussed and b) plugged into music

Song of the run: get lucky by Daftpunk ‘We've come too far to give up who we are

So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars’

Happy Thursday runners! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️👊

Ha ha! Love the "can avoid dog wee/poo" comment, isn't it awful when you have to break stride to avoid a plastic bag filled with unmentionable stuff to keep running, why are people so inconsiderate??!!

It was the dog that urinated right in front of me that nearly put me off my stride!

You can leap over it ! 😁. I can now vault over dogs bigger than a chihuahua 💪😁. Labrador ticked off I am only a short arse too 😁

You have to be careful though. Jaws of crocodiles some of em 😁.

Haha well done! I can run on the spot when my dog has a wee/poo 😆. And attempt not to fall flat on my face when she decides to chase a squirrel!! 4 runs to go - you’re a runner 🏃‍♀️ x
