Stupid Me...W8R3

[smeeagain]

Thought i would run without Laura today so i put on some music ,pressed the timer and off i went,run run run run,,,i thought the timer will sound when 28 minutes is up so no point looking...run run run...25 degrees and im getting knackered..so i check the timer and it didnt even start....reckon i ran for 40 minutes judging by the time on the clock,,still W8 done ..W9 to come but we have a heatwave next week...39 degrees so i reckon its gonna be a long week for W9!!

I had exactly the same issue in week 8, phone in pocket and so bouncing around I turned Laura off without knowing. Overran and regretted it big time.

Never thought I would but now bought an arm band for my mobile. £6.99

Whoa!! After two 28min run you were able to do 40min? Sweet. I was thinking of putting some music as well but my plan is to have only 25-28min of music so that I dont overdo it. I dont want to run for 40min right now. Thanks for the warning. 😃

Lol!

That's how I do it; my running soundtrack consists only of songs that are 5 mins (give or take a second or two either way) long. I count the songs, not the time or distance.

I will put on a tracklist once I am done with W9R3 only because of Laura. She made me start all this. I shouldnt abandon her.

And when my list is ready, be prepared to be forcefed. Haha. I will make you guys listen.

Hot work in the heat 'smeeagain', just wondering where you are?, I don't think that it's the UK as the weather is to be cold with even some snow on hills in the North and a touch of frost at dawn, onwards and upwards to week 9 and especially run 3, try your runs first thing in the morning before the heat gets going. 😊

I am a dairy farmer in Israel so running before work is sadly not an option....i shall have to wait for late evening i suppose....

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to smeeagain]

That is another time when the weather is a bit cooler, I like your username, I'm from Scotland, some people speak a bit like that as well instead of saying ' it is me again' they take a short cut and say : smeeagang, that is 'Auld Scotch', enjoy your runs 🏃 😊.

Well done but be careful you don't want to over do it , where are you running to get 39' weather 😊😊
