Did my 23rd run today. Went pretty well. Was an eerie stillness to this morning. Not a breeze stirred the trees.

Next run Sunday morning, before my swim. Might try it on a treadmill as all my runs have been outside so far. Would actually like to see how far I am running. Next four runs all for 30 minutes. Can't believe that I will be able to run for 30 minutes!! Graduation is just around the corner. The light at the end of the tunnel is here!!!

Oh, you are doing fab, it never ceases to amaze me when we look back and think of those first few tentative steps where we ran for 60 seconds , and now look at how far you have come , 28 minutes non stop :-)

I really cant praise this programme enough, it is brilliant isn't it ? All the best for Sunday :-) xxx
