W4R1 - mmm slightly embarrassing

[Jogunlikely]

Ok super quick post tonight.

Decided to do my 20 min run on the disused railway line (now a proper tarmac path no 🚂🚂🚂) as it's shady.

Lots of other runners, dog walkers etc enjoying the warm evening. Approaching a lady from behind, guess I'm about 20 ft away when she looks over her shoulder at me. I jokingly said "is it my heavy breathing that gave me away?" "No" she replies "i'm hard of hearing but I could feel the vibrations from your running" 😳 guess I'm not kissing the pavement with my twinkle toes more 🐘🐘🐘🐘 herd to elephants 😬

Slight problem in that legs refused to obey brain signals to slow down. My 2nd km was a minute faster than first and was still getting faster at the end of the run. So maybe stampeding elephant is more appropriate 🤔 🐘

Maybe the new shoes really do make you go faster 🤔🤔🤔 need to rediscover my inner snail 🐌💕 before Thursday!

Happy running folks xxx

Ps seems I can't do a quick post 🤦‍♀️

Always love your posts. Getting faster as you go - impressive regardless of the vibrations. 😂

Aww thanks x

I'm going with UNM suggestion that she had heightened senses. Maybe it's her super power? 🤔

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Don’t worry about the vibrations... she obviously has heightened senses (or was having a laugh) what matters the most is how the run felt. If you hadn’t have known your pace would it have felt wrong? I only check my watch these days on my long run... some other runs are faster than others, but at the same effort level. While my plans give me a target pace, it’s really all about effort levels.

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Tbh effort level was just in the uncomfortable zone. It's like my legs said ok Tuesday is 15 min day, let's go! Trouble is they hadn't read the plan was 20mins 😂

My app tells me my current pace every 250m (too ensure I don't go too fast!) but I thought it was wrong as I was under tree coverage and it sometimes tells me random sh#t but NRC app agreed so must be right. I was pleased with the run. Can't believe I can actually run that fast!

Oh and definitely taking the heighten senses thing. That absolutely must be the answer 😉😂

Well if she isnhard of hearing she absolutely has her other sentences heightened

[Jell6 Graduate]

I'm impressed you could speak to her!😊

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Jell6]

I hadn't even thought about that. You've cheered me up 😊👍

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

😘

[Jazzyrunner Graduate]

Made me laugh so much! I think she must have secret super powers 😁

PS just looked back at your other posts and now I have shoe envy! 😍

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

Trouble is both pairs are the same so last night I ordered some bright orange shoe laces to go in the new pair. 🙈

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

Ooh nice! I’m trying to be sensible and go for a reasonable price rather than my favourite colour - but what I really want is turquoise!

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

Lifes too short to be sensible! Have turquoise and enjoy them 😉

[SeeJillRun Graduate]

My legs do that too! It’s good to know it happens to other people too. And definitely go with the heightened senses, it absolutely makes sense. Enjoy the rest of Week 4!

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Thanks Jill you too x

[Katnap Graduate]
