Wk6 R2 done

Only got long runs left now! Iโ€™ll really miss those lovely rest walks in the middle ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข. It was another fabulous morning but yet again I forgot to take a photo (I think Iโ€™m too busy concentrating on staying upright). Iโ€™m going to try the next run on pavement rather than the usual lumpy field. Thatโ€™s how confident Iโ€™m feeling now - I donโ€™t care who sees me! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜

Youโ€™re doing great (as Sanjeev tells me periodically). I know exactly what you mean about being seen - I have been known to run into dead ends and up rutted farm tracks to avoid being spotted by passing cars ๐Ÿ˜†

Well done - I have just completed the same run and am feeling good. But I cheated and instead of a lumpy field, used a treadmill. Off now in search of a lumpy field for the next run...

Wouldnโ€™t really recommend the lumpy field. So how come, if youโ€™re on the same run as me, that you come up as a โ€˜graduateโ€™? Is that wishful thinking or mega confidence? ๐Ÿ˜. And, can I have one early please??

I graduated in 2014 - stopped running for a while (my main sport is Race Walking, different muscles) then re-graduated again in 2017. Struck down with serious illness at Christmas, so starting again to get back strength and fitness. All done in the hope of being picked again for my football team at age 72.

Now if Iโ€™d have read back through your posts Iโ€™d have known that, wouldnโ€™t I? ๐Ÿ˜Š Wow, thatโ€™s determination! Fingers crossed you make that team. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ
