Week 4, didn’t realise I was covering more ground. Duh!!

W4R1 - asked my hubby to drop me off a bit further than his golf course when he was heading out, approx 2 miles away so I could have an extra walk at the end. I stupidly hadn’t twigged that as I'm running more I'm covering more distance. I got to the front door just as the app ended. Ran the 16 minutes in total 3, 5, 3 and 5 with walks before, in between and at the end. I am love, love, loving this so far and even reading up on what to wear to run in the winter! Shocking myself!! 😮

Brilliant work you. It’s clever isn’t it ... just sneaks up on you and you suddenly realise you’ve run further/longer than you ever imagined possible. I’m looking forward to my first winter as a runner too - I guess we were both dressed up in the duvet last year so we will have to find new outfits 😂

Absolutely. It doesn’t seem so long ago that I was asking my friends ‘do you think I could run for a minute?’ You’re right about the duvet. 😂😂. Now I’m planning my winter running wardrobe!! 👟 x
