MY FIRST ‘REAL LIFE’ BENEFIT OF RUNNING!

So this running lark is all good when I have the gear on. But today was my first real life challenge.

I was late for my train and wondered if I could run and get it.

So I tried and did! In the past I would have just been a bit late!

Notes to self re doing this again:

- Keep hydrated I have been on a course the last few days and have been eating lots of biscuits and drinking lots of tea/coffee and absolutely no water. My legs were like lead.

- Shoes These were good as I had some trainers on

- Wear layers Running in your normal clothes makes me really boil up

- Deodorant On a normal day I really don’t sweat so if I forget the deo, specially now it’s a bit cooler, no big deal. But running with lots of clothes on is a different story altogether 😁

Would LOVE to know what your first real life experience was - chasing your children, when you had to go up some stairs.

PLEASE SHARE 👍

My bus was due to leave at 9.35pm, I was at a concert, now normally the walk from the concert hall to the bus station is a relaxing 8 minutes, the concert ended at 9.30, so I had to run from the concert hall to get that bus, I got it with a minute to spare, I did not like running down the road, but thanks to C25K I got the bus like you got your train.

A few weeks back I was waiting on a delivery of my daughter's new iPhone. I'd got a text giving me a delivery window of 1 hour but it had slipped my mind . So I went out with the dog then noticed the DPD van and remembered 'oh the phone . So yes me and the dog ran all the way to my house and just caught him in time as it had to be signed for. 🏃‍♀️🐕🚐

I missed my bus because it was a rest day and I didn’t run 🙈
