Doh!

Forgot to press start on map my run. And because my evil husband won't let me buy a smart watch until I've sold stuff to raise the funds, I've no stats for this run, and it was a new route so absolutely no idea. Curiosity is a killer πŸ˜‚ Enjoyable but tough run though. Next stop W8R2!

It’s ok actually as you only need to think about the session. Anything else at this point is a distraction It’s all about the session. Repeat after me. I’m hypnotising you 😁😁😁😁😁.

Treat yourself to a running watch as a graduation present to yourself A Garmin forerunner 10 is a snip these days. I bought myself one and just made sure my running jacket sleeve covered it up Saves explanation or justification πŸ˜ƒ

And you still have to switch on a gps watchπŸ˜„. Although remembering switching off after a run is the bigger problem! If it's just distance, elevation you could plot your run on Map my run or google earth. If you have the time you ran you could do some clever mathy thing to get speed. But as MissW says, it's not important right now.

Curiosity got the better of me and I plotted it on a map πŸ˜‚i have a lot of intersting route options where I live, I'm very lucky, and I've been logging the distances for future reference.

Maybe I'll get one regardless of what he says for a graduation present πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‰
