Week 8 run 3

[Jericho2332]

Aka 80s week!

Take that week 80s I've moonwalked up and down your ass! 🤣🤣

Early start, no sun as yet. The proclaimers are singing me home on my cool down walk as I type, how apt 🤣

This walk felt a bit slow, turns out it was my best yet! Il add the data photo but I was very surprised. Also did the 29 mins again as didn't want to stop 🤣 I'm absolutely buzzing with this today it was tough, nearly ran into trees a couple of times! Sooooo dark! "Ain't nobody gonna break my stride, nobody's gonna slow me down! Oh no! I've got to keep on moving!" had to be the lyric of the day as I started to tire about half way up an incline, keep on moving I did! Relatively pain free, breathing reasonable, pace better than I thought and started to quite enjoy it once I'd got past half way🤣 I think knowing I was on the home leg as opposed to the outward cheered me up at 06:30 on a cold, dark, wet Saturday morning when even the birds or the sun hadnt got up yet 😂

Now off for a shower and a change of clothes, going hiking in an hour 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

Good luck all running today, you can do it! 💪🏻

As you get fitter the act of running will feel easier and runs that you thought were slow at the time can often be much faster than you perceived them to be.

Well done- just finished week 7 run 1 this morning so feeling good too- enjoy your hike!

[Jcksam]

What can I say you just get better and better, have a good hike!

Great run!! You’re absolutely smashing it 💪🏼 80’s tunes all the way! I’m lining up my 80’s new wave playlist for my run tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will help me round like you!! Week 8 job done for you ✔️ Week 8 run 1 for me tomorrow morning. Eek!

Fantastic, you smashed it! 💪🏼🤩

I’ve a sometimes wanted to moonwalk with my 80s tunes goin’ 💃🏼 (My timer will still clock the mileage, right?!) 🤣

It’s funny how your stats can be so different from your perception of pace sluggish or not so 😉👌🏼

Well done, just 3 runs left! 🏁🌟🌈

[CazzaW Graduate]

Wow 👏 you’re smashing this 👌 only 3 more to go 🏃

[StoneDragon Graduate]

Congrats man, that’s good going. You’re quick too (compared to me at least) 👍

You must’ve clocked up the steps today with a hike too - hopefully you’ve earned a well deserved weekend treat. 🍺

10 mile hike up some pretty severe hills too 🤣 I slept well last night! 😂 I don't think I've ever felt fitter though! What an odd thing to be saying at 42 years young 😂😂😂

Get in! Someone from Middlesbrough! I live just behind Linthorpe school 😀 The bike paths behind Outwood Acklam around the Avenue of trees are nice to run on 👍🏽

[Jericho2332 Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Yeah I have used those many times over the years! I went to school there too as I was a Hustler/Hall Garth kid 😁

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Jericho2332]

I was a Boynton kid! Hey, there aren’t many of us from the north east on here.

[Jericho2332 Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Ah small world! There are a few of us on here at least 💪🏻😁

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Jericho2332]

Beachcomber66 is in Guisbrough and we’ve met at Albert parkrun after meeting virtually on here! We even have the same physio 🤣 Also, Elfe5 is in Hartlepool. We’ve yet to meet but I’m not letting her get away 🤣

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

I haven’t forgotten!! 😄 (You’ll have to run loops around me like Mr E, while I 🐌 along!)

[Elfe5 Graduate]

Great stuff Jericho! 👍🏻😄

I bet those park rheas were impressed as you flew by, (assuming they are still there.)😂😄

[Jericho2332 Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

Thank you! It was so dark nothing could have spotted me! 🤣
