Well that’s gonna need repeating....

Hi all,

So I started getting ready for w6r3, already dreading the 25min run ahead. Got outside the rain had stopped and the sun 🌞 began to shine. Despite having to dodge huge puddles and a dog walker- (ossie obviously had to have a little bark at!! )

my run was going quite well better than I expected. Don’t get me wrong I was getting tired, taking it a bit slower which really does help. Five mins from the end of my run had to go round the last huge puddle- had to walk carefully around this one to avoid ending up right in it.

Suddenly out of nowhere the dog walker reappeared. Turns out he’s a lovely chatty older gentleman called Tony and his dog Charlie looks like both myself and ossie have made new friends but that was the end of my run. Never mind there’s always Sunday 😊 hope everyone has a great run or rest day x

Well you were nearly there, and making new friends is really even more important, especially these days so you got a great overall result really 👍🏻😁

Aww thanks, I just didn’t have the heart to just stick my earbuds back in. You could just tell he wanted a chat. I don’t mind being a bit behind. I was telling myself this morning before I got ready- be the tortoise 🐢 not the hare ! Think I might have to make it my mantra!

100%, it's not a race and let's face it, we want an extra run anyway, the chance to chat might not come again. 👍🏻

Thanks buddy- I actually enjoyed meeting him he kind of reminded me of my granddad 😊

What’s happened to me I actually can’t wait to get out there and do it . I’d never imagine thinking that when I first started 😂 how’s it going with the b210k and is there an app for that too? I’d be lost without Sarah millican !! I keep forgetting to reply directly 😣😳

Getting to 10k is going better than I expected. I was happy with running 5k 3/4 times a week and thought I couldn't run any more buy I've been adding a km every 2 weeks and it's going great due to do 8km on Monday.

The bridge210k on here isn't an app like c25k but the plan is there for you to see and you can go at your own pace.

Think you've got the running bug 😂
