W8R1 in the wife's good books 📚📚

[Wolvesmad]

Took the car in for a service this morning 🚗🚗 and normally the trouble and strife would have to get out of her pit to pick me up from the garage. Not today though as I decided to run home instead. She was so happy ( as it's her day off too🛌🛌)

Dropped the car off switched Sarah on and away we went. The route was a bit uphill downdale but after first 10 mins I never looked back. At one point I couldn't remember how long I had got left to run but wanted to reach my village before I finished so hoped it wasn't going to finish too soon (most weeks I've been begging it to stop lol)

Sarah said 5mins to go and I knew I would just about reach my goal and was ready for a sprint finish should I need it🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Imagine my disappointment (Yes I did say my disappoint) when Sarah told me it was all over for today and to slow down which I duly did.

I had reached my goal and warmed down with an 8 minute walk

Her indoors is still fast asleep so made her a nice cup of tea 🍚 and me some porridge with fresh blueberries on top 🍜

Can chill out the rest of the day now

Enjoy your runs this week 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Remember if I can do it anyone can 🙋‍♂️

Sounds like a well-organised run, Wolvesmad, and so positive too! Well run! Bet your wife was dead pleased! 👍😁 ☕

[Wolvesmad Graduate in reply to MutleyShuffle]

Yes a lot more positive than some of my other posts but i only type how I feel (with a bit of humour added). It's been a tough journey but one I am so proud of so far. Long may it continue, just wished I'd found this app 15 years ago. It's never too late though 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Absolutely, it's amazing how many of us are getting fit with this app in their 50s, 60s and beyond!

Excellent!

A run with a purpose - bonus

Lie-in and tea for MrsW - max brownie points

You positively deserve this 😇 (today anyway😀)

[Wolvesmad Graduate in reply to AnnieW55]

Oh yes. No chores for me today lol

Sounds like a lovely run and saved some petrol, and nice wife's sleep

Running has many unexpected advantages

Enjoy your rest day!

My carbon footprint has definitely been reduced today with the added bonus of having some real footprints on the wet autumn leaves instead 🍂🍂🍂🍃🍂

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Wolvesmad]

Uuu... Running on autumn leaves <3
