First run without Laura

Even I can time 5 minutes then 25 minutes then 5 minutes so this morning I decided I'd run with my own choice of music rather than the NHS's. 25 minutes is a long empty stretch without Laura's occasional encouragements but when Endomondo pinged the end of the run I was still doing great. Most of the time my thoughts were not on running and the running sort of took care of itself.

So, that's W7R2 out of the way. I can just about see the finish line in sight now.

Good luck to everyone running today. And enjoy the BH if you are lucky enough not to be working tomorrow.

Cheers all,

Duncan

Endomondo is just a tracking app on iPhone etc. You can program in multi-step sessions and it let's you know when each step starts.

I find the music far too slow for me to want to run too - need something much more upbeat so i have left Laura behind, sorry Laura!, and just use runkeeper app on my phone with my own music and have it set to 5 minute audio cues so I know when to stop running...makes it a lot easier
