Hi forum, so today was my schedule days run, but the car needed some TLC at the garage, so thought ok i will drop it off and then when I get back I'll go for run as normally car Maintenance takes a few hours.

When I arrived at Garage, reception says thanks we'll call you when its done , my reply is the curtosey taxi taking me home........you guessed it, sorry due to Covid we have suspended it. Damm in my head I said......so I goggle my distance wow on foot I mere 9k , so I wasn't in my run gear and said OK let's not waste this opportunity so I did a 20min fast walk then 5k run followed by another 20min slow recovery walk...just go to show when an opportunity comes up take it as i felt great 👍 and with the thought of getting car back my mind was on full charge, although the return was a walk only 90min as my discipline from Laura and the team on this app has made me focus on doing the right ✅ thing, no room for Ego as my constant worry is getting a injury.

So to sum up I had everything against me, breakfast 90min before this dilemma unprepared, my normal clothes on,no wristbands or handkerchief etc, but always have a bottle of water, my tshirt became a wipe down cloth ha ha 😂

So today was a mega long walk 🚶‍♂️ and a fab 🏃‍♂️..stick to the app guys its Truly Amazing Technic 👏.

Hope this post helps others in your Journey.

Well done! Not so long ago that would have been a major irritation - now it's an opportunity! Running is quite the gift. I do hope you at least had running footwear on though ....
