W7 done ✅

A good run today after the last one, W7R2, which was a bag a spanner’s (borrowed that phrase from TinyTears as did sum up nicely the shocker it felt).

Usual early start and it was glorious ... sunny and cool, the first run for about the last 4 where I haven’t needed a waterproof. This time I reverted back to running as my own run, the last one I tried to slowdown and think I over thought it and tried to conform a bit ... but this one was great.

Again didn’t look at times or distance, albeit as always, set my workout app. Music was great ... INXS helped me up the hill, which is the last 5 mins of the run (New Sensation came on, “live baby live, until day is over” ... or run is over as is this case!)

Michael’s final 1 minute challenge came up, so I sped up ... when he said stop, I was thinking ... aww, it’s over already.

So much better than R2! Also, on checking the workout app after, 2 of the kilometres were personal bests as was overall distance.

Sitting rather pleased with myself and longing to do W8 !

Pretty sure it was with Bowie in 1983 at Milton Keynes Bowl. It’s funny - I haven’t been to that many concerts! The Move, The Equals, Queen and Sting are the only remaining ones! Oh, and Elkie Brooks. That’s it 😀

Hip much better today. Went on a cheeky walk. I think I should have another rest day - yes of course I’m missing it! 😂 I need to get out there and try and catch up with you!

Aw this is fab well done
