W8R2 - Thunder, lightning, pink sky and me

[Hotheels]

Today has to be the best run I've ever had......I did a cool 28 mins straight - in conditions that had me truly inspired - cool breeze, thunder and lightning and gorgeous pink & orange clouds.....I was tired after a long day but running in these elements was something else!!!🌫🌩

And my timing seemed perfect because the heavens opened up with big, fat, pelting raindrops as soon as I walked through the door!!!💧💧💧

Feeling achy and tired but really happy and upbeat, all rolled into one.....bizarre or what????!!!!!

W8R2 smashed!!!👊👊👊

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

Brilliant 👍 superb timing 😉

Sounds like a really good run. You're getting really close now! 😁

[Hotheels Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Definitely timed that right....by accident!!!!😂😂😂😂

It is getting scarily close.......😁 (gulp!!)

[telford_mike Graduate]

Yay! Not long to go now, you'll soon be on the podium 😀👏

[Hotheels Graduate in reply to telford_mike]

Going to just focus on getting through Week 8 first 😉.

My body is ready....but my brain is chicken....lol!!! Hence, can only handle one run at a time......😅

[jdmm Graduate in reply to Hotheels]

It’s only 2 more mins ! You won’t notice honestly you ll fly

[Hotheels Graduate in reply to jdmm]

Ah....thanks!!! When put like that, it doesn't sound as daunting!!! 😅

[telford_mike Graduate in reply to Hotheels]

Exactly 😀

[Shakywakey Graduate]

You are sprinting towards graduation 🎓. 👏👏

[Hotheels Graduate in reply to Shakywakey]

"Snailing" towards graduation would be more apt in my case!!!🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌

[cheekychipmunks Graduate]

Oh what a lovely sounding run Hotheels! It’s special when that happens! Just one more 28 minuter for you, then the home stretch! Yayyyy! 🙌🙌🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️❤️❤️

[Hotheels Graduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I know that most will think I'm nuts.....but I love the "calm before the storm" type of weather.......and I think that I was simply lucky to watch nature's display while running......and getting home dry....lol!!!

28minuter......2 down, 1 more to go....bring it on, I say!!😁

I'm going to woop for you when you get to that podium tomorrow.....good luck☘ xxxx

[Berksrover Graduate]

Haha, you are definitely addicted now, C25K, then 5k, then 10k, half marathon, marathon, the list is endless 😉😁🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️💪

[Hotheels Graduate in reply to Berksrover]

With a mentor like you, do I have a choice???!!!!🤣🤣😂😂😅😅

Every time I feel like giving up, your voice pops up like magic....."c'mon, keep going"......and it gives me that push I need to keep at it 😁

Plan away, dear Berksrover ....I'm up for the challenge under your tutelage!!!

[Deborahchick46 Graduate]

A very big well done xx 💚

[Hotheels Graduate in reply to Deborahchick46]

Thanks chicka xx

[Runip Graduate]

Sounds beautiful; I love thunder and lightning! I also love how running for 28 minutes is almost incidental to your post, as if it's a completely normal thing to do 😃

Congratulations on another great run.

[Hotheels Graduate in reply to Runip]

Thank you....I noticed that too......!!! I was quite distracted by the beauty of what was around me...taking in the sights and smells, I forgot about wondering how long I had run for and how much more of a run was left........and ran a full 28 mins without even thinking about it.

Amazing!!! Like I said in an earlier post.....the body is ready but the mind refuses to believe!!!!

I think I just cracked the secret of the C25K success rate!!!!😂😂😂😂

[Runip Graduate]

It's always great to lose yourself in nature. I got a lung full of stinky engine fumes on my run today, not quite what I was hoping for!

[Hotheels Graduate in reply to Runip]

Oh dear!!! That's no good. Hopefully a one-off!!!

Good luck and keep going x
