Week 8, run 1 running on a public holiday....

Don't know what possessed me to go out this morning at 6.20 when it was a public holiday and there was no need to....

The streets were dark and empty and I was a little bit spooked, I didn't see a soul. That said I had a good run today, the middle bit was a little difficult but my legs felt strong and I kept my head in the game. I surprise myself with my determination to finish this program and graduate!

Here's to the next run!

well done. Next week is your last week. Think im going to try and really push these last two weeks and try for the 5 k. What's your distance now ?

I know! Blimey, it's crept up on me all of a sudden. Today I ran 4.67 km not including the warm up and down so not bad. My splits were a bit slower than last week though so we shall see how Wednesday goes. How are you doing?

Well done. You're on the same run as me but you're covering a lot more distance than me! I covered 3.7km on my last run. Good luck for the rest of the programme!

The streets were dark and empty at 6.20am in June? I guess you are not in the UK. :D

Well done! The virtuous feeling of being out and running when everyone is tucked up in bed is pretty good is it not? Good distance for week 8 too.

Nope, in new Zealand, and usually there are a few people about (runners and dog walkers) but it was queens bday so not a soul...
