Good morning Tor and gratz on run one. Did my run2 yesterday and with the heat and uphill route I took twas a bit of a sweater but enjoyed every minute of it. The big one tomorrow, 20 mins non-stop so am gonna wimp out with the flat route lol. That music doesn't get any easier though :(

hey - now you really are onto this running thing. the one thing I loved about week5 was that it finally dawned on me that we can actually do this... I know it can be daunting, but you are physically ready for it - and sounds like you're well prepared too.

Good luck and Happy Running
