To run or not to run, that was the dilemma...

Well today should have been run3 of week3 . My training has been kept on track with the help of my son but today Fast and Furious 7 at the cinema with his Dad was far more interesting!! So do I run by myself for the first time (in daylight as well!) or do I decide that it is too wet and cold???? Strangely I was sitting at home by myself and had the urge to go for a run - tried to talk myself out of it but it didn't go away. I am proud to say that I did go out by myself, yes it was daylight, yes I completed it all as per Laura, yes I did wear my woolly hat and yes when I wanted to give up I could still hear my son in my ear saying "come on mum, you can do it" Feeling really proud of myself and might treat myself to an egg on Sunday! Have a great Easter weekend everyone 🐣

Woo woo! Welcome to running!

Running in daylight puts a smile on your face - out and proud as a runner!

Well done

Well done! Always talk yourself into GOING for a run, never the other way about

Instead of egg on Sunday you could treat yourself to a new item of running gear.

So, onto week 4. Onward and upward. Enjoy it!
