Thanks for the Advice!

Just completed W6R1 and wanted to thank various folk for saying to take it slow. So I went REALLY slowly and I made it! I was so not in the mood this evening either and was convinced I’d never do it - but I’m back in one piece and with a clearer head after a rubbish day at work. What a great program! And everyone is so inspiring. 😀

Congratulations Frenc!! I recently discovered that once you slow down you can actually enjoy the run😂, great way to turn a bad day around as well! Keep it up!

Thanks NusiaFab! So true about the slowing down, and actually enjoying the run. 😀

That’s good to hear, yes that slow down mantra has got a lot of us running longer

Ah thanks WillowandSola. I tend to do everything in life way too fast, so I think I learned a valuable lesson today! 😊

the title of your post reminded me to watch Die Hard, the best xmas movie.
