Wk8 r1.......nailed it after time off!

So after 2 weeks I went out and did my wk8 r1. I thought it was going to be harder than expected but actually I surprised myself. As usual the first 5 min are a killer than after that and I found my rhythm. I had to laugh at myself at one stage as I had the biggest grin on my face. My feet knew what to do, the music was pumping and the evening breeze was spot on. I may be paying for it tomorrow but I think run has become part of me now 😝😍😁

Nice one Peet. I knew I was hooked when I found myself playing air guitar and grinning like an idiot as I ran the last half km of a run. It's like a drug! πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

It is so funny as I was the same - grinning ear to ear and even grooving to the music as I ran!!! I just have looked like I had ants in my pants at one stage. 😝
