Week 6 - Run 1

Done! This one was a little tougher in the middle, the second run was a bit more difficult but powering through with good music helped (Jul, Guns n Roses... honestly, don’t take my music recommendations on board. Next week it’ll be 80s tv themes). It was stormy out tonight and it’s quite exhilarating running in the wind at night.

Feeling really good now though, who would have thought. I’ve actively avoided running my whole life, pulling sickies back in New Zealand at primary school whenever there was a cross country run. I’ve done lots of other exercise throughout my life, mainly martial arts, but I’m glad to be doing this and enjoying it!

Sounds great! Not sure about your music choices though 😉

I did my first run tonight and in the rain too. I agree it was exhilarating! I loved it! Keep going 👍

Haha yes it’s an eclectic mix! Enjoy the program it’s really well put together and (I’ve found thus far) never too difficult :)

Well done pr0fess0r, great to hear your out there and enjoying it, even when battling the elements......80’s TV Themes sounds good, I’m thinking of The Professionals in particular, which would be a great one to run too 👍

The A Team 👊 that’ll definitely get you moving.....love it when a plan comes together 😜and I’ve just thought of two more, Airwolf and of course Knightrider.......there’ll actually be some good running tunes in that line up, looking forward to your next post 👍
