The weather is great, so in a positive mood I set off. I forgot to charge my headphones so on the 5th repeat the headphones died! I had to guess timings plus no motivational words plus no music. I was slightly over with the 90 seconds running but better over than under. I did not quit so feeling good.

Well done, I would have lost it losing my guide, Goes to show we di not need any tech to run, just determination and a good clock! ( actually the clock would be tech?)

I was on a figure of 8 loop. If I had been passing my house I would have given up but had to get back home so might as well keep going. It showed me how much I like/need the " keep going" at this early stage. I had to talk to myself instead!
