So much better!

My last run was my first real struggle (w8 R2). I had dreary music, Laura packed up after 2 minutes, legs felt like lead etc etc.

But today was great. Queen kept me going, app behaved and I did another 30 minutes!!!! So I feel ready for w9.

My run finished at a pedestrian crossing so I should have walked across but a very beefy van driver stopped to let me cross so being a silly vain woman what did I do? ....... I streaked across at supersonic speed and carried on running FAST! What a great feeling and all this after 30 minutes usual run.

Still can't believe the difference my lacing has made to my right foot. Thanks Telford Mike😘

Great job. The one after the sucky one is generally much better. Of course you ran when let across the road, but streaking may be over the top 😂

Enjoy that next one.

I laughed at your first sentence, dreary music and Laura packed it in, I know why she packed it in, she did not like that dreary music whatever it was, anyway, glad you like the group Queen who made your run today much better than the first day with the dreary music, Queen's music is certainly not dreary. There is a difference between 'streaking across a road' and streaking, I wonder how many streakers have ran a 5K in the altogether!!!, actually there was a post last week from someone who wanted to do just that on a naturalist beach somewhere in France.

Well done you. You can do this and it’s great to hear all these wonderful positive stories.

Yay! Another run done! I hope beefy van driver appreciated your sprint. Roll on week 9, you’re going to completely nail it! Is it time to book your space on the graduation podium?

Not what you're looking for?
