W7 R2 Done...just!😅

That was close! I managed to do something weird with my app and it wouldn’t play for me.😱 But thankfully I remembered that this run is a repeat of the last one so I decided to set the timer on my phone and let the memory of Jo’s voice guide me. It worked! Another 25 minutes of non stop shuffling done!😅I suppose that by week 7 our trainers’ voices have imprinted on our brains. I even praised myself for getting to 12.5 minutes and pushed myself along to speed up a little for the last 60 seconds. The cool breeze, soft mist and cloud cover helped enormously too. Glad I left this run till today rather than brave yesterday’s blistering heat. Respect to all of you that did go out yesterday!

When I got back to WiFi, I sorted out my app and then played the run during my yoga and shower, so it would be up to date. Got to say Jo’s commentary was almost as good as mine!😂 She’s definitely coming along on my next run though, it was a bit lonely without her. 😊

Well done, I did Week 7 Run 1 this morning and found it really hard but I did manage to keep going.

Well done! I think keeping going when you are finding it hard is when we really develop and that is what you did, which is just brilliant. I hope you get rewarded for your work with a more enjoyable W7 R2 😊

The voices work inside your head quite well. I used to plan my post too that encourages you.

Yes, good idea. Planning your post would keep you motivated as you’d want to be planning to share good news.😊
