3:2 done & dusted

Out early to avoid the heat...oh dear halfway through warm up the EarBud connection turned off...fiddled & my 80’s music came back on so continued warming up happily & after a while I realised no Jo Whiley 😫 app had turned off! So after an extra long warm up my run went well...struggled on the last 3min Run but knew I would do it, as the end was in site! My short term goal is to get to the end of W4 & my treat will be proper running gear. ASICS & socks after completing Week1....love them....as soon as they are on I want to be out the door...but I do look weird in my Granny Annie long wide shorts & T-shirt 🙈🤣 Even the dogs in the park give me a wide berth!

I’ve had that with a couple of runs... headphones disconnect and every app likely to be using them gets a pause... frustrating.

Enjoy closing the first third of this plan out on the next run... and working towards that goal and reward next week.

I'm definitely with you on new gear! I did yoga for four years in skanky old leggings. Then I finally thought that this looked like something I was going to carry on doing. So good to wear something that is both super comfortable and looks good. I'm only very slowly beginning to accept that running is going to be a long term part of my life and running gear might be allowed!

🐌runners need incentives. New Gear will be my 🥕🤣 to keep me going. Jokes aside the real joy comes from completing each run even if it takes a few attempts & starting to feel fit and have more energy.

However Gwen for you and me we will go on a shopping spree together 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👟🧢🕶👚
