Thug life...👊🏽

W6 R3:

I take my hat off to those who can run without music coz it has saved my bacon countless times!! This time a bit of old skool hip hop yessss!!

By the way I’ve just ran 25 bloody minutes!!!!!!!!

Calves hurt throughout and my legs were already a bit tired from being on my feet doing a clay workshop (day 3 this week) at our local museum. Had a 100 children in today taking part 😬 glutton for punishment me!!

But MJ called ME a runner today so who even cares how I got there!! I made this gesture 🖕🏽to my hill today....maybe the music went to my head!! 🤣

Nice one Dee, I guess that's the end of week 6? Just 9 more runs to go. Keep it up!

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to telford_mike]

Yes end of week 6. Omg is that all!? That hadn’t registered in my brain! Wow! Thanks the stats 😄x

[Deborahchick46 Graduate]

My first park run was without music . It cut off just as I started and I then continued to run and just as I got to the end it kicked back in. 😱😱😱

Now I use music to try and work out my timing.

Good luck with the rest of the 5k plan

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Deborahchick46]

Oh no!! How awful!! Definitely would be lost without it. Thank you so much x

[Shakywakey Graduate]

Bring on week 7🤛. You are doing great.

I’m like you - need my tuuuuuuuunes

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Shakywakey]

Exactly! I’d be so lost without them!! Just keeps you going!

[Flaraflarkin Graduate]

I need my music too~ I did use a podcast on my last run though - that wasn't so bad 😊

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

What podcast did you use?x

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

My Dad wrote a porno 😂😂😂

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Errrrrm!?? 😂😂😂 seriously???

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

🤣🤣🤣 Alice Levine co-presents it ~ its secretly written by someone's 60 odd year old Dad ~ it's really badly written and so is ripped to pieces 🤣🤣 it was on at the Royal Albert Hall last month!! 😝

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Haha! Sounds hilarious!! I was drinking a cup of tea when I read your first reply and nearly spat it out! 😂😂😂

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Omg that's the name of it!! Just incase you interpreted that otherwise 🤣🤣 Google it if you haven't heard of it ~ its very funny! omg I feel like I've written the rudest thing that's ever been written on the forum!! 😱😱🤣🤣

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Flara!!!! This is the funniest thing I’ve read on the forum!!! And yes I had interpreted that the other way 😂😂🙈🙈🙈

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

You’re ace!! 😁

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

🤣🤣🤣

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Equi-geek]

I’m still laughing 😂

[Berksrover Graduate]

My music cut out once just after I started, listening to myself panting for breath for 30odd minutes is not an experience I want to repeat!

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Berksrover]

Absolutely not!! Anything to distract me from the breathing and tiredness is a good thing!!

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Berksrover]

🤣🤣 happened to me too once when my wireless earphones packed up! What a sound? “Who’s that?” I thought 😲. I thankfully had a brainwave and put the phone on speaker! So it was only around 5 minutes of listening to myself heavy breathing! That was more than enough! In fact, if I knew I sounded that way any earlier, I might still be on the couch! 😂! Oh the joys of running! 😍❤️

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

I did run 1 without music and never again!! Well thought of plan B!!

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

Desperate measures Dee! I’d literally just started the run too! 🤦🏽‍♀️! Look at you now Dee! W7 yaaay! ❤️

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

I know!!! Week 7!! Where has the time gone?? You’ve been with me the whole way ❤️❤️

[Fabulous450 Graduate]

🤣 love it!! Well done “Runner”! Congratulations on leaving week 6 for dust!! Fantastic!! I agree about the music too! Happy running! 👏🏽👏🏽 😁❤️

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Haha thanks!! Just hoping my legs can carry me on to week 7. It was another tough run! Xx

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

They certainly will! Remember to pace yourself and go slow! You were on your feet all day!! It’s a brilliant achievement! Enjoy your rest day and then go and then go and give W7 what for!! 😁❤️

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

I’m definitely pacing myself!! I practically hobbled up the hill today!! X

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

Good hobbling though! It’s done!! 😉❤️

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Haha! 😄
