W7/R1 ... Who’d have thought it!

Hi all, I meant to post this yesterday but family stuff kept me super busy....but, not too busy to stop me doing W7/R1! Oh yes so delighted with that one and I can honestly see I am making fitness progress as I ran the final 5 minutes up a hill that I would never have been able to do before AND got a faster final minute, even uphill! Am over the moon, particularly as my legs don’t feel like they’re about to drop off the next day!🦵

Also.. I got a new gadget... I’ve been talking (moaning) about my on-loan-to-me garmin never catching the gps which irritated me no end...so... I was very naughty and bought myself a reconditioned - 🍎 Watch Series 4. LOVE IT 😍!!! The Apple Watch 4 has all the activity stuff (technical term) and be my phone-on-my-wrist etc so win/win! 🙌🏻. I’m never going to be Action Woman so felt new garmin would be wasted on me tbh.

Got the watch synced, pressed the ONE button telling it I was running, got instant INSTANT GPS and a running digital commentary all the way, lovely 😊

So happy with that run and am actually looking forward (for the first time) to my run tomorrow morning W7/R2.

I actually think I’m in with a chance of completing 5K!!!

How is everyone else doing this weekend?

Morning(very early!).

Well done on your great run..and new techy gadget.😁

I've fallen a bit behind as haven't been too well. I'm going to give w7r2 a go later, but if I struggle, I'll have a re-think. I haven't done any exercise for a week, whereas I would usually run, cycle and gym.

Hope you enjoy r2 and have a fab Sunday.

Oh no sorry you are poorly, if you’re still not feeling great, maybe wait until you’re better.. In July I stopped for 2 weeks due to injury (and the heatwave!) and still managed to get back into it, I just repeated the last week I completed.

Hope it’s nothing serious, sending you positive healing vibes. 😘

🏃😁. I'm just back from it. It's a bit breezy here, but it was ok. No gym or cycle though.🤗
