Managed to get my W4R1 done before the weather gets too nasty, but the wind got me for that last 5 minute run. I didnt stop, just slowed down a little and pushed on. Now it's time to convince my other half i need new trainers ๐Ÿ˜‚

Got my run in before the wind... but had to take the puppies out as it was starting to pick up. They didnโ€™t like it one bit... theyโ€™re still under 5lbs. Never seen them so excited to get in there car before ๐Ÿคฃ

Great job on the run. Now for the other half... tell them that you need 3 pairs of running shoes and let them negotiate you down to just the one pair to start with, then they think theyโ€™ve won!!!

I'm not surprised they were happy to take shelter!! Its really picking up now. As for the advice about the trainers ...fantastic idea ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm already dropping hints

Letโ€™s hope Jessie ends up with two pairs ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘

That would be the ideal... trail and road! Iโ€™m starting to meet some resistance from my other half now as we have no room in the shoe cupboard near the front door and I have 2 regular road pairs, one minimalist and one trail. She seems to think itโ€™s unreasonable of me to need her to make room for another pair ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ I already have 2 pairs in the car... Iโ€™ve done my bit!

eBay delete all listings for livestock and apparently that includes teenagers ๐Ÿคฃ

Of course, being a teen, none of her shoes are ever put away.

Not so great when you have to run into it face on. Was like getting smacked in the face with a frying pan!

Fantastic! I also did W4R1 today! And slowing down a little is totally ok - I wasnt running fast at all, because Laura said "a light jog" :D

It didnt feel so light, but we did it anyway! I hope you get those trainers!

Not what you're looking for?
