Who was that ?

Dragged myself out into a dirty, sodden day for my first bash at 2:2, Ethel moaning and groaning all the way. Promptly jogged past the minute on runs 1,3 and 4 and the whole of 2,5 and 6. I feel fine. Am I a changeling ?!!

You and Ethel done good :) Does making up songs help?

Ethel is no help, frankly - she has no sense of rhythm ! I find it helps me to think about anything except running while I jog along: these ditties are probably the most useful things !

Just tell Ethel to shut up and not annoy you, you are going great with your runs and as Ethel is no help to you just ignore her. 😊

Best thing to do with her. Didn’t take an umbrella, even a purple one. I can trip over thin air so I don’t need anything else !

Sounds amazing ☺️ What’s a 2:2? Sorry, I am still learning the lingo!

I don’t know if it’s in common use, but it saves a lot of typing. The first number is the week and the one after the colon is the run - so I’ve just done the second run in week 2.

Not what you're looking for?
