First time without Laura...

I’d meant my first postgrad run to be by the sea, but decided dodgy spine issues last night meant not adding on a drive would be best. So, straight out of the door to run early again - but no Laura, Runkeeper to time me (finding it a bit awkward messing around with my phone to time a 5 min walk / then the Run start / then a 5 min walk again - may start just using my watch for the walks!), and a new playlist. With Runkeeper set to give audio cues at 5min and 0.5km intervals, I laughed to hear I’d hit 4.99km at the 30min point. Seems I go a bit faster without Laura, but I’m starting to suspect 5.00km in 30mins is somehow a jinxed distance my phone has decided to never award me! 😂

Happy Running everyone who’s out today! 😊❤️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️😎

4.99?? That's just cruel!! That's only a metre. Go on, just take it. Our present!! :-)

10 meters! Drat. That’s a good lick of speed you’ve got there.

Thanks - you’re getting faster too, though, Jay. Once you’ve lost all that weight you plan to, you’ll be leaving me for dead in your dust! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️😎❤️

Nah I’ll always be a steady one. Keen to reach 10k, however long it takes!
