W8R1 complete!

[SeeJillRun]

Well that was pretty ok! After the slogs of W7 I expected more of the same but actually it felt ok today. Annoyingly a phone call I had to take at almost the halfway mark paused the app but luckily I had MapMyRun tracking just my run so used that to time 28 minutes n then stopped running

I had Strava running for the whole thing and MapMyRun just for the run. Altogether I did 1.94 miles and just running I covered 1.2 miles so I’ve a ways to go to hit 5k lol

The absolute best bit of it was that I made it to the bench! It’s been tantalising me for some weeks now, creeping closer but always out of reach but today I made it! Sadly I couldn’t sit down but had to turn around 😂

The crows made me smile today. They were circling above me as I was running my last few minutes, seemingly waiting like buzzards for me to drop dead. Sorry crows but today isn’t your day! 😂

Happy running! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃🏻‍♂️

Well done Jill. I'm just waiting to go for my run now (once it gets a bit darker) !!

I prefer the daylight lol, but then I do run on a trail so it’s safer that way. Have a good run! Xx

Well done Jill...the crows made me chuckle ! I hated the film “The Birds” so would have had a fit 😳 🏃‍♀️

I don’t mind them at all. They proper amused me lol. I could hear them but looked in all the bushes and trees n couldn’t see them anywhere. I looked up n lol and behold, about 20 of them were circling round above me. You definitely wouldn’t have been amused!

Aw... so good to read this post - I’ve also slowed down on week 8. So nice to enjoy the view... (I even whispered ‘I love running’... and kind of meant it... 😉) x

Yeah I was so pleased that it just felt like a normal run. Not sure what the slogs of W7 were all about but W8 seems to be an improvement so far.

Glad to see you’re starting to love running too 😁 x
