Week 8, you're history! One step closer ..

One step closer ..well quite a few actually :) to completing this programme. Just week 9 left to go. I can't believe how far I've come or even that I'm still sticking to it. Would have predicted I'd have given up long before now!

It doesn't really feel like it's getting any easier - does it ever? I'm still panting and gasping for breath after running for about 10-15 minutes but I just keep going because I'm just too stubborn to stop! That and it'll screw up the stats on Map My Run which hubby and friends seem well interested in. And I like seeing that large number of calories burned. All very satisfying at the end.

Saw quite a few runners out this evening. Think the local joggers club may have been out but one particular lone runner came flying past me (making it look like this running lark is so easy he could keep going for hours) when I was doing my cool-down run. I just hoped he'd seen me when I was actually running and didn't think I'd just been out for an evening stroll in the late sunshine :)

good on you for getting through to the last week, so just think ... only 3 more runs until Laura confirms that you are a proper runner..... & imagine how that would feel.

Map my run is great although I use runtatsic but does the same thing - and what a great motivator.

Not what you're looking for?
