Week 8 Run 1

[mum2theboys]

My legs were like led today but I was determined to finish. I forgot my water bottle so I kept thinking about needing a drink but was also pleased to have finished without needing that water til the end. Half way through a group of very fast men ran by (sprinted more like). I managed to keep my composure and pace whilst thinking how do they do that? I finished though, shattered but feeling good.

Although its cold out there can you imagine running in the summer --- would probably spend more time drinking than running

I run first thing in morning and I can't tell you how many times I have to ' go ' before I leave house -- just in case

[mum2theboys Graduate in reply to Fitfor60]

Ha ha. I'm exactly the same!

First time without it which panicked me slightly. I cant breathe through my nose so my throat gets really dry. Never again.
