WK8 begins :)

[Jase44]

Just done wk8r1 and managed to knock 22secs off my last 5K time already. Must be these new x-socks I've brought lol they are really comfortable and let your feet breath as well. 5 more runs to grad day woop woop it's like a run in the park lol. I can't believe how I started this C25k thinking I'd never do it and now I've nearly graduated. Come on all you new runners you can do it 😊😊 J
