Week 8 Run 1

I did it!!! A major mishap along the way though! 10 minutes into my run and I decided to turn the volume up on my phone as I couldn’t hear some of the songs clearly with the passing traffic. Carried on and it wasn’t until about 15 minutes has passed that I realised I hadn’t heard Sarah Millican telling me how well I was progressing! As it’s a new week thought maybe she doesn’t talk as much but after another few minutes realised I must have paused the app whilst adjusting the volume 😬I was now 5 minutes from home and luckily had remembered to put my Runkeeper app on which informed me i had run for 5.42 km at a time of 40 minutes! 😁 Lesson learned not to take phone out of belt half way through run and make adjustments! I was pleased with myself that I completed it, it was windy which I really don’t like! I really do think having downloaded some music that I loved just takes my mind off of the running and makes me zone out! Phew!!!
