Wk5r1: I saw my shadow and I looked like a runner! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Following reports on issues with sarah on week 5, I dumped her for the week and coupled up with Michael. A man of few words and a no messing approach - I quite liked it ๐Ÿ˜Š. After forcing my very unhappy teenage daughter to bring the dog and weโ€™d go โ€˜and get some fresh airโ€™ together down to the local park for my first ever evening run, it was easier than expected (the run, not dragging my daughter along). And because it was the evening I caught sight of my shadow - and I looked like someone who goes to the park to run - how good is that! #notsoslow #someonepleasecutthisgrass ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š

Great running... hopefully the council pick up on that last bit for you. Hate to be the one to break it to you, but you ARE someone who goes to the park to run ๐Ÿคฃ

Enjoy run 2... when the bell rings youโ€™re halfway through this plan, and itโ€™s the tougher half that will be done.

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I actually look faster in my shadow than I feel like Iโ€™m running. And the council really do need to cut the grass ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘

Same here... since they took the goalposts down in June theyโ€™ve let it grow so much Iโ€™ve changed Park... still, soon be football season again!

Your shadow probably shows the real picture... if we are in the zone and running comfortably it can often feel slower than it actually is.

Ooh didnโ€™t think of that. Funny how things happen when you arenโ€™t expecting them ๐Ÿ˜Š

I get a shock when I pass a shop front or car window. The reflection makes me laugh out loud each time, Iโ€™m running!!!
