W7 R3 done!

That was fun...even though I did everything I could to ruin it! I was chugging along fine with 6.5 minutes to go thinking ‘yes I can do this’, checked the app a few minutes later and was horrified to see I still had 6.5 minutes to go!!😱 I’d only gone and accidentally hit pause! Never mind I thought, I can check my tracker..only to realise I’d forgotten to start it at the beginning of the run so that was no help.🙈 I decided that there was nothing for it but keep running while the app played itself out, as that was the only way I could be sure I’d definitely done my 25 minutes. I’ve learnt that time plays tricks when you’re running, five minutes feel like a minute and vice versa. I’m pretty sure though that I ran farther than the other two week 7 runs and might even have hit 30 minutes! 😅 I’ll try and turn it into a positive and take it as a sign I should manage weeks 8 and 9 ok. I’ll definitely definitely be playing closer attention to any possible technical issues!

I'd like to say it won't happen again ... but it probably will (if you're anything like me anyway🙄). Well done for not letting it derail your run. You do now know you have more in the tank. You've got this. All you need to do is press start and before you know it you'll be finishing that graduation run 👍
