W8R1 in the wife's good books πŸ“šπŸ“š

Took the car in for a service this morning πŸš—πŸš— 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 tooπŸ›ŒπŸ›Œ)

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 itπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

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 πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Remember if I can do it anyone can πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ

Sounds like a well-organised run, Wolvesmad, and so positive too! Well run! Bet your wife was dead pleased! πŸ‘πŸ˜ β˜•

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 πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

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 πŸ˜‡ (today anywayπŸ˜€)

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 πŸ‚πŸ‚πŸ‚πŸƒπŸ‚
