Wk5 R3 - oh Lordy

[Cpop3]

I set out yesterday to tackle the 20 minute run. I decided to do it first thing in the morning so I would miss old Storm Dennis. I’m staying in the wilds of Northumberland and was really looking forward to a change of scenery (from Doncaster) and some real fresh air.

I have never known so many cars! It beats Donny in the Friday rush hour. Still I plodded on and felt chuffed to reach the 10 minute mark. I smugly decided to push on a bit more so I would get a longer walk home. Still feeling reasonably fresh, I turned round...and was faced by a herd of cows and the most enormous hill I’ve ever seen! I mean how did I miss the fact that I’d been running down a hill?

The end to this story is that I did complete the last 7 minutes running (slowly) uphill. I left my lungs somewhere at minute 17 on the roads and I don’t remember the walk home at all, so the beautiful scenery was totally lost on me. The cows were very encouraging though...🤣

Congratulations. I'll have that picture in my mind next time I'm out. That's real mooootivation if ever I saw it.

Congratmooooulations on completing run 3 of week 5 with the company of those cows, moooo👍😀

Onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3 which you have just ran without the encouragement of the cow's.

Thanks for the advice. I ‘herd’ it can catch people out. I am looking forward to it though.
