Bring on Week 8 !!!

I was just about to start my warmup walk and came across this dog in a pickup !

i just had to ask the owner if i could take the picture πŸ˜‚

Anyway, onto the run ! Week 7 Run 3 Done !

a little tech fail at the beginning ( i like everything to start together ! haha)

i had run for 45 seconds and noticed i hadn't started my watch CURSE 😑

which of course meant i will have to run for 45 seconds longer at the end so i could have a proper track of my run , Ahh well so be it haha.

so, took a little longer to find my pace because i was fiddling with my watch and my music but found the groove after around 7 or 8 minutes.

no sooner than i found my pace and Laura is there telling me i'm halfway through!

that means the hills are just around the corner ! 😐

so, round the corner we go, i was determined not to lose pace on the uphill but i did need to let it slow a little (i needed some left for the end)

then the nice gentle downhill which is always a relief so with about 5 or 6 minutes to go !

then Laura is back, telling me 60 seconds and pick up the pace if i want .

i didn't because i needed to carry on until i'd done 25 minutes according to my watch , so i picked it up when Laura told me that's it ! and i carried on for that extra 45 seconds 😬

i,m feeling both excited and nervous about week 8, but can't wait to get it started. πŸ˜¬πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Oh, well done! Nuisance about the watch, but these things happen!

You’ll do fine with week 8, it’s only 3 minutes longer, it will be a breeze πŸ‘

Well done! That’s a pain about the watch, I done that recently, forgot to track 30 seconds into my run and my walk was 30 seconds more than it needed to be and it was a nightmare trying to track it all πŸ˜‚
