W9R2 best run so far!

After a long and stressful first week back at work I didn't really feel up to a 30 minute run but knew I needed to get the running kit on or I'd be asleep on the dreaded couch before 8pm. So I decided to not bother taking Laura with me and just go for a short run but try to increase speed a bit. Set off on a well known route that I hadn't done since week 7 with mini challenges, the traffic lights in less than 8 mins, the garage in less than 10 etc. Before I knew it I had done what had previously taken 15 mins (all uphill) in 13 mins. So I turned round and then ran back downhill at a steady pace, until I remembered I was thinking speed not time. So I ran back as fast as I could without falling over. Got back home in 24 mins and hadn't done my warm down walk, so ran 6 mins in the other direction and walked back. Ended up doing the 30 minutes afterall! Can't wait for Sunday and my graduation run now!

Well done! It's great that you made yourself go out and managed all your challenges along the way - a really good way to motivate yourself. Not long to go to graduation so keep on going!

Brilliant! I was asleep on the sofa during "Flog It" I just hate that coz now I'll never know how much that watch sold for......

Anyway when I woke up the takeaway and gin were both blinking at me in the dimming light of a Sept evening.....so today is the day and somehow I need to pick up my pace to get further in my time.

RibbleMan and a bike is my plan (although he doesn't know that yet!)

Good luck for graduation tomorrow x
