Your actual week 3 at last! With extra Laura

Not 2.5 or 2.75, but an actual week 3 run 1. And it was fine, apart from half a minute when my left shin started to hurry, but I slowed down and it was fine again. Oh, and an App malfunction, so I restarted it and then I ended up with 2 Laura's, about 30 seconds apart. Now that WAS confusing! ๐Ÿฅด

That was a good run for grumpyoldgirl, the app malfunction reminds me when I was doing C25K with my friend who has now graduated, he set up run 3 of week 6 twice for some reason or another, there were two Laura's telling us every 5 minutes how the run was going exactly every 5 minutes, very confusing, luckily I noted on my watch which Laura was the correct one, to make sure that didn't happen again, from then on with runs 3 of weeks 8 and 9 including the very important graduation run of week 9 I used my Smartphone for those runs.

Sounds like a similar thing happened there, Al. I was wearing my watch so I was able to check my time, once I realised what was going on, but I did do an extra little run before I twigged!

I love Laura , but 2 of them, oh no, but seriously well done.

Pay attention to the niggles to keep injuries at bay.

Keep it going.

Pete.

Week 3! Wonderful! You patient person you! Rally pleased for you. All the very, very best for your onward running journey. It looks from my timeline that I took 6 months to do the 9 weeks of C25k!!

Hmm, it's taken me 2 months to get to week 3, so that sounds about right! ๐Ÿ˜

You broke your ankle, I believe at a similar time to my fall, so you have had so long to wait to run. As I said you patient person you!
