Despite everything……

[Redbuz]

Despite everything I managed to complete Run3 of Week 6 this afternoon.

Really enjoyed the run (didn’t think that I would tbh) although my pace remains sub tortoise in treacle 😂

I say despite everything because a) the weather here in Lancashire today was dank and miserable, with drizzle and dark skies. b) having waited in for an Amazon delivery I eventually got a message that the package has been delivered - with a photo of somebody else’s front door! Arrrrrrggghh!!!! and c) one of my earbuds failed at the start of the run, so I had Laura and my playlist through one ear only- a bit discombobulating tbh😂

Anyway - chuffed to bits at completing Week 6, and like I say - despite everything I really enjoyed the run

Thanks as ever everyone for your encouragement- it is massively appreciated!

Well done for getting the run done despite the challenges Redbuz! Glad to hear you enjoyed it too, it gives me hope for my upcoming longer runs. Onwards and upwards to week 7 - good luck ☺️

Thank you LauraRuns. Funnily as I was chunnering to myself about parcels, weather and failures of tech all throughout the run, it took my mind off the actual run and it was much more enjoyable than expected!😂

Onwards to Week 7 - good luck and best wishes to you too

Well done, that's a good run and you got through it despite things not being perfect, I hope you got your parcel

[Redbuz in reply to SueAppleRun]

Hi SueAppleRun. Thanks for your message- yes all good, parcel arrived, earbuds functioning, weather today lovely, legs not sore….. hopefully Week 7 will be kind 😂

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Redbuz]

Sounds perfect to me, enjoy rest of programme

Well done Rudbuz - technology fails are the worst distraction and I would've been stressing about the amazon delivery (I hope you managed to track it down).

Good luck with week 7 - I'm sure you'll smash it.

[Redbuz in reply to StoneDragon]

Hi StoneDragon. Thank you for your kind comments. The parcel did turn up eventually thanks to a kind neighbour a few streets away, I have managed to sort the tech out 🤞 and the weather has improved dramatically!

And I’m feeling good about Week 7 - so alls well that ends well

Thanks drl212. All good - parcel turned up, weather improved and earbuds functioning ok. It’s going so well I might get a lottery ticket!🤞🤞

You're just one run behind me. Keep up the great work. And I love the descriptive 'sub tortoise in treacle'! Same here !! Good luck with Week Seven - it's three repeats of today's run so you've got this

Thank you Seakite! Keeping going (just completed W7 today) but it’s been an effort avoiding Storm Darragh and pre Xmas excess😂
