W8R3 hardware malfunction

Marching away doing my 5 minute warmup walk and disaster....headphones stopped working. No music and no Sanjeev!! What am I going to do? Decided just to carry on. Phone in pocket and just run my normal route. How very strange to run without my playlist and Sanjeev's reminder and words of encouragement but I did it. Fastest pace ever too but it took it's toll in the last few mins as I was a wobbling wheezing mess, however, did not stop and feeling v. chuffed with meself. Bring on the final week :)

Well done for keeping going.

I couldn't imagine being able to do it without anything in my ear keeping me going or steadying my pace.

Just as well it was a continuous run rather than intervals.

Hope you get it sorted for Graduation week. 😉👍

Great job. Can you believe people used to run like that all the time? 😂. Well done, it’s difficult when the familiar is changed, and you coped with it really well. Into your victory lap now.

Well done for keeping going. I couldn’t do it without Laura or my tunes to see me though! You’re on the home stretch now! 😃

Well done Becky! Argggh running without music is hard. Sometimes these things are sent to test us (that and loose laces in my case), and you passed! Only 3 runs to go yay! 👟💨👨‍🎓
