New Years Day and decided today was the day to tackle the 8k run.

Not so many people about on this cool morning (5 degrees here) just a couple of dog walkers and cyclists along my favourite running route. Passed a couple of runners and managed a cheery hello. Yes, I even managed to talk, smile and run ๐Ÿ˜.

Tried very hard to slow my pace down and did have to stop to take one top off at 5k as I still haven't mastered doing that on the go!

When I reached 7k I thought yes I can do this and even managed to up the pace a little.

Very happy now relaxing and listening to New Years Day concert.

Happy 2018 ๐Ÿ˜Š

I know I nearly went out just in short sleeved top but then it was cool when I walked out the door!
