This was going to be a whinge post (Poppypug says you can do that here). So all the way around I was comprising my post, but now ofcourse I feel zinging, exhilarated and great so there's no point.
What a waste of artistic composing, I was going to say something like
This was the first time I ran on my own without my son, I had to leave the house all on my own (but at the end of the run there was no argument about the shower)
The wind was so strong I could hardly breathe let alone run (it pushed me home on my return run)
I pushed the wrong button on my ipod and ended up listening to a random selection of music which included 6 tracks of Gregorian Chant which wasn't very stimulating - that got a bit tiresome by the end (but it kept me calm when the going got tough)
I was so busy being annoyed that I forgot to check if the daffodils I pass had come into flower yet (I was so envigorated on the way back I did I little extension to check - they aren't out yet) I've seen snowdrops and primroses come out over the past 8 weeks and witnessed Spring arrive.
The sun was shining so much it cast a shadow of my profile on the bank opposite - good grief, what a shock - there was a little old crooked lady running alongside me (what the heck, she could have been still lying in bed)
My ipod battery said it was low so I wouldn't know how long I'd run (it didn't run out and I ran to the next tree after wk 8 - 31 mins)
Good luck all you runners - I'm sure you all feel as good as me after your successes and achievements. 2 more runs to go for me. This is still unbelievable.

I love that post, Buffy. Well done to you. Can't imagine Gregorian chant has quite the beat you might need, but keeping calm is a useful skill too I'm finding! Glad you're feeling so good too. Two to go! Right, I must get off this forum, I've got so much work to do and keep sneaking on here for a bit of a look... Enjoy the rest of your day.
Fab post, Buffy. You can feel like the end of the world is nigh during your run and then like you're on top of the world at the end of it! Funny this running malarkey! Two more to go...
No, that'll be me - but the way I look at is, (a) we can only improve if you're terrible to start with and (b) it make everyone else feel good if they're not last!
Funny you should say that - there's a slight incline on my route and I remember being terrified about the thought of it and then feeling I was going backwards up it as I was going so slowly - now I'm up the top and don't even realise I'm there. I definitely have improved so much. Thanks - looking forward to seeing your Grad badge - don't forget it!
