First run without Laura

I forgot to put my watch on and my headphones died half way round BUT I just ran my usual route and was my best run to date - even felt like I could keep going :-)

I didn’t think I’d enjoy running solo but turns out it’s quite nice to run without any pressure.

Onwards and upwards!

Great job... now you’re running free, and coping with the tech failure too. Happy running.

Congratulations to you Meh204 on running without your watch, headphones or any other distractions such as music, we call that in the running world, "running naked" 😪 yes that's what the running glossary says, running without any time pieces, music, etc. 😊 I am glad that you enjoyed your run today.

Yes we call it naked running. Sometimes it’s great to just switch off and just run.
