Beaten by a beatle!!

Good Evening all. Well, the ultimate ignominy this afternoon whilst completing WK7R2. As usual, I scared what seemed to be a solitary sheep in my neighbour’s field, then onwards past the horse I scared on Sunday. It had big teeth and seemed to laugh at me going past so slowly. Nearing the end in the fields, I was joined by a field beetle that for a while ran by my side. I think it was looking for an escape route all the while, but it made me laugh as it beat me to the next tree! I’ve named it Lord Coe and I hope to see it again when I do the third run of this week on Sunday! Anyway, it took my mind off the time and soon enough Jo told me i’d finished. Me and Lord Coe smashed it!!

Fabulous! Wonderful to see that not only are you making great progress, but you're making great friends with the local wildlife too. Who'd of thought it? 😀

This really made me laugh! Next time you can beat Lord Coe to the finish line! (Well done, I have W7R2 tomorrow!)

I loved it! He seemed much faster than me! Sadly I didn’t see Lord Coe today but he I reckon he was there watching from somewhere! I reckon he’s doing his own hive to 5k!! Keep going on your own journey, it’s thrilling to think somehow we are all doing it!! Enjoy the sunshine.
