I swore in front of Laura. Please forgive me!

I managed to get my last run of the week in after work and it was bliss. Well sweaty and tiring and not really bliss until it was over. I didn't see another soul in the forest which was lovely but at the same time a bit creepy. I mean i could have been eaten by foxes or goblins or pecked to bits by a buzzard. The struggle is real.

But i digress. I managed the full 28 minutes although when Laura told me I still had five minutes left I'm afraid I might have sworn in front of her. Ok i did swear in front of her. It's nothing personal, it could have been Jo or Sarah or even Michael. I still would have sworn. But bless her, Laura stayed with me even after that abuse and got me to the end. Thank you Laura, you're a trooper!

🎉👏🏼🎉 Well done. So glad no foxes got you. And no gremlins either! 🎶🎶 Never mind a bit of swearing - whatever works, I’d say, and clearly Laura agrees with me as she kept going. And you did too!’ 💕👍

Bless her. She was my friend 'till the end! Between her and Jo (they seen to job share on my app) they have never let me down.

She's a tough bird is Laura 😊 I swore at her a few times yet she comes back each time without criticism.

Keep safe from the goblins x

That did make me smile 🙂 Haven’t sworn at Laura but I do quite often plead with her for an update or a cheery word of encouragement! She always comes through when I need her 🙂! Happy running!

Huge well done.... !

Laura has broad shoulders and is so forgiving... I feel many of us may have been a little rude to her on many occasions... My particular expletives always were aimed at the.... " Finish in style" comment... I was just grateful to finish at all!

She has taken thousands of us to that finish line... long may she reign!

Indeed, long may she reign!

I did finish.......although there was absolutely nothing stylish about it! Got pipped to the post by a rabbit and i was nearly on all fours! 😂

I shout at her too. Especially when she says "you're doing well, keep going" I shout back "What do you know about it, shut up woman!"

She can be so hateful with the false praise 🤣🤣

Oh I need to hear I'm doing well, I'm a delicate little flower and I feed off these lies!

I think if Ant Middleton or any of the SAS guys were to do a podcast i would be broken! The truth would hurt too much! 😂
