After just over a week off in my sick bed. Today I got out and done W8 R1. It was hard work and I pushed real hard. I did have to stop a few times to open and close gates but all in all good run. ;-) onto W8 R2 and parkrun next Saturday oh and I start with a running club Tuesday ;-)

It is teasing us isn't it!! Not long at all. I am feeling really chuffed with myself at the mo. I really didn't think I was going to get this far.

Beggar me!! Another nice looking place to run. It's just not fair I tell you. ;)

Glad you're feeling better and had a good run :)

Although I do reckon you should have been vaulting those gates instead of stopping to open them ;)
