I felt like a runner today

First run in the rain and quite windy as many of you have also experienced this morning. R1 of W9 went well. Even picked up the pace a bit in the last minute by striding out a little more which made it feel like I was actually running rather than just dragging my sorry self at a snails pace. So, I CAN run for 30 minutes! Who'd have believed it?

Just two more runs to go.......

All my runs so far have been in pretty good weather. That is going to be a real challenge to get out there when it is wet and windy!! Well done, nearly there now :0)

a big jolt to the system going out in the cold & rain, but you've done it now & yes you can run for 30 mins. and you're so close to graduation too. Well done
