W8R3 done.

Really wanted to get week 8 over with tonight so I can have a run-free weekend and with any luck complete week 9 next week. Quite impressed I've gone out three evenings this week as I certainly haven't wanted to! I'm not really enjoying it lately unfortunately - how can anyone enjoy going out on a cold dark night?! Well I know a lot of you do... just finding it rather boring myself, but I do love the feeling of completing the run.

I'm very impressed, that really must have taken some guts on these cold evenings. I know what you mean about it being a bit boring now. I will certainly be glad to finish. Only 3 runs left for you! Good luck!

Nice work - yeah I reckon running in daylight must make it less tedious

Sarab ,have you tried mornings?? I switched to these when it started getting dark early, of course I'm lucky to have grown kids and flexible working not everyone has this luxury, but just a thought. Keep going I am on week 8 run 1. bit challenging!!!

Hi nifty, I would have to go out super early if I did mornings, which I just can't seem to do! I think my body prefers evening runs when I have a day's worth of fuel inside me, the last time I tried a morning run I had no energy at all, not good - just not a morning person!
