W9, one down 2 to go!

Had a fantastic w9r1 this morning. Went out at 6 when it actually felt a little chilly at first (I know - it was lovely!!), tried a new route that was half road, half trail, and a new playlist. Just perfect, really really enjoyed it and totally set up for the day! Had a cool shower when I got in, then a yummy smoothie (my own recipe - orange, banana, almond milk, Greek yoghurt and frozen mango! Delicious!!! ๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน๐Ÿน ) i am now checking out the c25k+ programs - anyone tried the speed one? Happy (cool ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ‰ ) running all my virtual running buddies, stay safe in the sun and well-hydrated!! ๐Ÿป

I also completed W9R3 today! There must have been something in the early morning air. I'm jealous about that smoothie - I slurped half a cup of coffee and ate an apple while getting the family out the door. It wasn't nearly as delicious :-)

Forza sandirm, you will be celebrating this time next week (or a bit before)!

Ooh that smoothie sounds the bees knees. And what a fabulous sounding run. I've done the speed podcast - I didn't like it when I first did it, but I had another try and really enjoyed it and still do it from time to time. It's great fun and really good for post grad work.

I will definitely persevere with "speed"! After hating most of w8 so much that I nearly threw in the towel, I know things can turn around!!

Go you!

I'll be out early in the morning doing w9r2 but I think it will still be fairly warm. :-(

I'm going to have to try the smoothie.

Can't even think about any of the other podcasts yet. Can't even believe I've got to week 9!
