Wk8 R1 - done !! πŸ˜πŸ™‹

This was part of my run this morning - such a lovely day. I was surprised at how well I managed the 28 mins - being dropped off a distance away and running back rather then my usual out and back really helped. Quite looking forward to the next one one Sunday/Monday 😁

Massive well done! Looks a stunning route, hope there was a bit more pavement around that corner though, I'd be really worried of cars with my headphones on 😁 Great idea as well btw, might try that in one of the runs later on, best of luck with R2!

Thanks sHAYM4N - nope, no pavement! Very rural road though with grass growing down the middle - usually only see one car max during my runs there. Only have headphones in one ear though, just in case!

Same here, trying my hardest to prep my head for going out for w8r2 after work later 🀞

Ooh a lovely leafy lane for a run can’t beat it, good for you KD. Nice idea with the running chauffeur too, I think I need to get myself one of those (...I have no chance!). Great to hear you’re looking forward to the next one... that almost sounded like (...dare I say) you enjoyed it?! πŸ’š

Thanks TS! Yes, I think I did enjoy it a little bit!! Wow! Imagine that!

It definitley felt much better than W7 R3 :-D. Going to get dropped off a little further away next time, as I'd nearly finished the route with 8 mins still left to run, so did a few little circuits until the end. Definitely like the one-way approach as it feels like you're on the way home for all of the run!

Great job. Nice looking run... and looking at the road you must have narrow cars around there πŸ˜‚

Enjoy that next run.
