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 πŸ˜‚

Got my run in before the wind... but had to take the puppies out as it was starting to pick up. They didn’t like it one bit... they’re still under 5lbs. Never seen them so excited to get in there car before 🀣

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 they’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 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I'm already dropping hints

Let’s hope Jessie ends up with two pairs πŸ˜‚πŸ‘

That would be the ideal... trail and road! I’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 it’s unreasonable of me to need her to make room for another pair πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I already have 2 pairs in the car... I’ve done my bit!

eBay delete all listings for livestock and apparently that includes teenagers 🀣

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?
