Despite doing W9r2 yesterday I completed W9r3 this morning πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ. TBH the weather made me do it, this morning is going to be the best time for the next 3 days so I decided I had nothing to loose and got out there on to the tow path. I spent most of the run battling the wind and puddle dodging(don't like wet feet) so not the fastest time or the furthest I've run but I did it. Still haven't mastered the art of posting 2 pics together so this one is my completion on the app and I will follow it up with the stats from my watch for those interested. Off for a shower. Have a great day peopleπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸŽ“

Not sure at the moment.... it all seems a bit strange not having a plan to follow 😒. I might just repeat W9 for a couple of weeks to bed this in, at the same time look for some way of taking this further. But until I decide I shall just enjoy the joy of running and the scenery around me. πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ˜Š

Congratulations!! That’s brilliant.

Did you feel ok running two days on the trot (so to speak!)?

Tonkabellaβ€’ in reply toIslerunner

Mmmm hard call that πŸ€”. Today I woke up feeling good, no aches etc, so coupled with the weather forecast I just gave it a go, preparing for it not to go well.... I felt ok until I slowed for the walk at the end.. then my back hurt a bit. I will now rest up for a couple of days and just do easy things at the gym. I've done 2 consecutive days before but not for as long as 30mjns. But it's not something I would recommend unless you have to and I would say don't feel bad if you do try it and have to give up as it's too much. πŸ˜ŠπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ

Ah congratulations! Whoop whoop 🍾🎈🎊🎊🎈🍾.

Take it easy now for a few days 😊

You need to create a collage in your "album", then you can select a few images, but they will be smaller 🀩

Tonkabella if u want to add more than 1 pic on ur post try using the app pic collage. U can add the photos u want to one frame and then it's one photo. It is a free app but it has a watermark at the bottom of the finished photo. U can have the option to remove it but I think it costs to do that but not sure how much . :)

Congratulations! Here’s me frowning upon back to back running days πŸ˜•. Ok I’m done! Celebrate your achievement well, and enjoy consolidation, and your future running adventures.

Not something that I would recommend or do on a regular basis.....just sometimes it feels right and today it felt sort of right from the moment I got out of bed, however I will prob suffer for it cause it was hard going against the wind. 2 days of taking it easy now, next outing Monday :-)

You’re not injured... it’s all good... and that nasty weather is gonna make you take extra rest to compensate! I wasn’t putting a dampener on things though... you’ve done a great job. Meanwhile I haven’t dusted off the golf clubs... I really should, I could use a 15k walk (I’m that bad I get to walk at least twice the course length!)

Tonkabellaβ€’ in reply toUnfitNoMore

Not for one second did I think you were putting a damper on it😊😊 I was all prepared to not complete as I totally agree with you it’s not a good thing to do..... I think the fact that I am fairly fit to start with helps. Get those Clubs dusted off⛳️ a long walk.. chasing a little white ball is great in good weather. I played on Monday in conditions similar to today... charity thing so couldn’t back out... the wind took 2 balls to places unknown and I sent one swimming πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ Just as well I don’t use good balls unless it’s good weather or I couldn’t afford to play. πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈβ›³οΈ

What I need is a GPS golf ball so I could actually see where it went! Of course that would get expensive real quickly unless they also made it float. I had lessons and never improved, so I figured what the heck, I’ll just be bad at it and still enjoy me self.

That’s all I do.... enjoy being out there, my course has amazing views over the Brecon Beacons and it’s soooo peaceful ..... apart from people bellowing β€œFore” πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.
