Week 9 Run 1 - Evening run !

[RunRunRun13]

Supposed to do this run on Sunday, then couldn’t do it this morning due to a very early shift at work so got in at 6pm literally got changed straight away and off I go my first 30 mins (in the evening too) I’m normally a morning girl. Well what a good run that was !! Plus when I got home the dinner was being cooked and on the table (I may have to do that again if only to get dinner) 😂 the only downside I would say is I kept to main roads due to it getting dark and lots more traffic than 6am. So maybe all you lovely morning runners could try an evening one and see if you like it....you may be surprised 🏃‍♀️

Well done on your run. Only 2 to go.

Thanks so much...I actually quite “liked” that run tonight. I wouldn’t go far to say “enjoyment” 😂 but that may come one day ! 🏃‍♀️

Great job... and now you’re starting to hear the crowd cheering as you’re down the back straight of the last lap... 2 to go to victory.

Good switch to evenings there... the nights will be lighter next time you have to do it.

Thank you...I’m getting my polish ready for my medal🏅 I do feel the virtual crowd on here are cheering me on which spurs me to get to the finish line. I will definitely switch to evenings now and again 🏃‍♀️

Well done, I'm so looking forward to lighter evenings so I can try an evening run, it will be cooler then too if we're lucky enough to get a warm summer. Very much doubt I'll be lucky enough to have my evening meal cooked though 😊😊

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to micey2]

Thank you micey2...yes it was quite a surprise that it was actually a good run (I’m keeping things crossed that it’s not a one off) and I shall make sure that the cooked dinner is definitely not 😂🍴Good luck with your running !

Well done getting out after a day at work and tea on the table when you got back is definitely a bonus! 🍽. Best of luck for the rest of Week 9! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Thanks Jill...least I can have a bit of a lie in the morning now too 😂 Hope your running is going ok after your last sluggish one 🏃‍♀️

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

Thanks, I haven’t been again yet. Hoping to get out tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed!

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Good luck and hope it’s a better one for you..🏃‍♀️

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

Thanks, me too!

[FionaLamb Graduate]

Hey buddy. Well done you. I’m cheering you on and going to be there for a massive cheer in just 2 more runs. Well done x x my week 9 run tomorrow 😃

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to FionaLamb]

Good luck for your run too and can hear your cheering from here....thank you....I feel we need champagne and a firework display at the end of journey 🎆🏅🏃‍♀️

[Christrfc Graduate]

If you can keep going this time of year, how much easier will it be when the nights are lighter and the weather warms up? Nearly there and when you get to the end of week 9 keep going and set a new target for the summer! 😁

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to Christrfc]

Yes I agree it will be lovely when the evenings are lighter and warmer (no more wind and rain)...I am running 25 miles over the month of May for Miles for Mind (the MIND charity) so that should keep me motivated and a new challenge for a worthwhile cause 🏃‍♀️🏅

[Kertesz]

Wooo hooo - an (almost!) ‘enjoyable’ start to the final week! Go you... (and the prospect of a warm meal at the finishing line is always ✔️✔️✔️!!)

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to Kertesz]

Yes two to go ! Then I’m on that podium 🏅(knackered but happy) Good luck with your next run too !

[Kertesz in reply to RunRunRun13]

Ah thanks, it’s tomorrow - my Garmin recommended 72 hours recovery from last run - and who am I to argue with it...?! 😉😂 x

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to Kertesz]

Good luck tomorrow ! Wish my Garmin said that... be lucky if I can actually read it 😂🤓
