Week 9 run 2....

Done!!! So nearly there and so nearly 5k this morning....just need to push a tiny bit more up the hills (peak district..no such thing as a flat route round here!!).

Week 11 of the year and despite not starting for a few days into the year and having had 6 days sick leave, I'm pleased I've kept the consistency of 3 runs per week. Looking to step up to 4 runs a week now to help push the weight loss I'm struggling with (I used to run 4 times a week prior to my 10 month couch sabbatical, so I know my body can cope with that).

AND....all the way through I have promised myself a new pair of pink running shoes on completion, so hopefully I'll be off to Sweat shop on Thursday for a little bit of retail motivation!!

Well done, just think those hills are making you fitter and stronger. Some runners go out to find hills and you have them on your doorstep. They are hard work but the rewards are greater. One more run to go!! Very exciting
