W2R1 - all geared up for my first run of week 2. Downloaded podcast to my new cheap MP3 player (don’t have a smartphone) and drove to beach near where I live. Set off and 10 seconds in the recording stopped. Tried again, same thing. Drove home and downloaded again. No joy. Bit fed up and spent half an hour or so trying everything to get it to work but without success. Only other option was my iPad mini but thought it was a bit bulky. However, really wanted to do the run today so decided to have a go. Off I went to beach again and - hadn’t downloaded properly (you can guess I’m not very technologically advanced). Now I’m feeling a bit cross. Drove home again, downloaded again, drove back again. Now it’s windy and drizzling rain. By this time I was grimly determined that I was going to do the run or die in the attempt. Set off and joy of joys, I did it. Hallelujah! 😊 PS Forgot to mention the 20 minute power cut in the middle of the downloading saga...
Phew - bit of a saga!: W2R1 - all geared up for... - Couch to 5K
Phew - bit of a saga!
