No roast, and a run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Unlike previous effort, didn’t have a roast dinner πŸ₯˜ last night before running week 9 run 2 this morning.

Only mini drama was at the start when some unwanted supposed comedy involuntarily coming through my earphones, it was such dross I had to switch to something more bearable. After that it was pretty good, and after 10 mins I got in to a reasonable rhythm

By the way, I’m not a complete saint πŸ˜‡, I did have a pancake πŸ₯ž last night.

Happy running all πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜Ž

Amazing, well done, it sounds like you have hit your stride and found your pace. You will qualify by the end of the month won't you? Brilliant. :-)

I'm a bit jealous about the pancake though, I didn't get any last night :-(

Happy running.

Thank you very much , yes I hope to do my week 9 run 3 on Friday 28th.

Some runs are easier and/or more enjoyable than others, but at this stage I’m just head down and getting through.

I only had one pancake πŸ₯ž, as my piranha like teenage boys ate all the others.

Hope you’re enjoying the programme too, keep going and happy running πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’ͺ

Great job Martin ☺ πŸƒ

One more run to go 😊

I admire your restraint with only one pancake πŸ₯ž I had several - but then, I did run in - 8Β° and work up an appetite πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‹

Good luck on Friday - I'll be looking out for your post πŸ‘ πŸƒ

Thanks very much Fiona.

I’m trying to not focus to much at the moment on getting to 5 k in the 30 mins ( at least that’s what I tell myself, but I always do look at it 🀣).

From what much more experienced runners than me say on here, it’s initially about getting km’s under the belt, building up endurance, and then with time and consolidation runs the speed and/or distance can be worked on.

Happy running πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ˜Ž
