again, the hardest part was getting out of the door !
little bit of a tech hiccup at the start of the run, took a minute to sort my music out but then Pink Floyd came good !
the first track appropriately titled "Fearless"
and for those who know it , the first few words are "You say the hill's too steep to climb" 😂
took a little longer to find the groove on this run ! the toxic 10 reared its ugly head, in fact it was just around 11 minutes when i had settled into a comfortable pace and then the music fades and Laura comes in to say 12 and a half minutes done !
for me, that halfway point is a good feeling especially now i have a little downhill stretch to enjoy !
then around the corner to the first up hill, i was half way up the hill and a young lad on a skateboard was coming down the hill towards me , he passed with a big grin on his face haha 😆
hill conquered and 8 minutes to go .
a little bit on the flat , then a little bit down hill again before the last uphill bit when the music faded and Laura tells me just 60 seconds left pick up the pace if you feel like it !
so, I DID ! as on my previous run, finished with increased pace and the last hill conquered !
All in all, a good run !
Just the same again now to do on run 2 !
Sorted ! 😬🏃♂️👍

Yessss! Well done - and, dare I say it - no real dramas! We’ve got this, now. Funny, you need motivation to actually get out of the door, and I’m raring to go but usually have a wobble for the first 5 minutes.
Good music 😀
Onwards and upwards (hopefully not too steeply) to Run 2 🐌
Well done mister, especially conquering that bloody toxic 10 .... I sometimes wonder if there’s such a thing as toxic 25 ( there certainly felt like there was last week 🤣 )
Great post!
AND you did inclines too! 👏👏👏
Nice to get to the 12.5 minutes mark isn’t it... it can affect one of 2 ways... I either think ‘Great!... on the countdown now’ OR ‘ONLY half way!!!!’
