These are a few of my favourite things 🐝

🤣No, I didn’t run to the sound of music! However W7:1 was my best run ever. I knew I could do it. I planned it with the sunrise over the sea. The tide was in, waves crashing on the beach, the light was exquisite & the smell of the salt air filled my lungs. I just relaxed into a slow gentle rhythm, savouring the moment until the last minute when I was able to sprint to the end.

Now for that glass of water!

[Grannyhugs Graduate]

Well done- sounds like a great run

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

It was superb!

[Waylander85]

A very tall glass of water i hope lol. Well done. Its an amazing feeling at the end!

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Waylander85]

🤣 water a runners first love besides the trainers! I can’t believe how well this training works!!

[Goslow Graduate]

Well done 👏👏 I’m envious I just look at at wall on a treadmill 🤣🤣

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Goslow]

Not as much fun but you can be anywhere in your imagination 🎶 and you are running!! That’s the main focus.

[LeeU Graduate]

Running at the side of the sea, damn, living in the middle of the country does have it's draw backs I suppose.

Glad to see you are enjoying it and smashing the runs too, not long now until you graduate, you got this.

Remember:

If I can run for 25 minutes then I can run for 28,

If I can run for 28 minutes then I can run for 30,

If I can run for 30 minutes then I can graduate.

Feel free to change the times after you've graduated, I still use this when I'm pushing the run times out, it's got me to 60 minutes so far.

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to LeeU]

Excellent thought process LeeU thanks!! Country runs are beautiful too especially if you pass blackberries 🤣

[LeeU Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

I have a blackberry bush at the bottom of my garden, the grandkids found it and came in covered in crushed blackberries, I thought it was funny, MrsLeeU was concerned they had eaten some elderberries or something else.

My transition to running outside should have started today but I'm not running, I need to get rid of this cold first, so if I'm feeling better tomorrow I may run in doors and then pop out early Saturday and do a run outside.

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to LeeU]

Kids😂 Hope the cold goes quickly!

[tiggs1 Graduate]

Well done on today’s run 🏃‍♀️👏🏃‍♀️👏

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to MummyTum]

You are welcome any time!! My 5min warm up walk takes me from my front door through the estate and on to the beach! Love it!

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate]

Well done Annie, sounds like a lovely way to spend a morning. And hey nothing wrong with running to the Sound of Music 😂🎶

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Kat_runs4490]

🤣Thanks Kat! Will give it a try sometime 🎶

[Nana2019 Graduate]

Sounds wonderful! Well done! It’s wonderful to run outside and feel at one with the world.

I’m still to begin Week 7. I planned to go this morning but other stuff got in the way (like taking the dog to the groomer - last minute plan)! If I don’t exercise first thing in the morning it just doesn’t happen.

So tomorrow ..... hopefully 🤞

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Nana2019]

Hope it goes really well too. 👍🎈

[2Tired2Run Graduate]

WTG Annieapple, sounds like a wonderful and enjoyable run 😀👍. You really have cracked this ... encouraging for those of us 'behind' you.

I must confess to being a tiny bit green eyed monster as I realise reading your post that you must live near the sea .... *dream* .... *sigh* ... must be incredible.

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to 2Tired2Run]

Only been here 18 months but been our dream! Very appreciative!

You are doing brilliantly 🏃‍♀️ too.

[Puppy-love Graduate]

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to backintime]

Yes no basking in the glory of the last run always the next challenge to master🤣 hope your training going well!

[backintime Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

Oh take your rest day to bask...basking is practically mandatory along with pats on the back : )

Running is going fine thank you, just plodding away : )
