Red leaves and Berries - Week 8 Run 1

[FloatingGiraffe]

I've been lurking on the forums for quite some time and now I'm making my first post! Better late than never

I've completed my first run of week 8 (28 whole minutes!) and unlike other runs the first 10 minutes was fine! Actually the whole run was fine and I even managed to speed up so much for the last minute that it felt like I was flying! I managed to run 2.4 miles/3.8km which is fab!

But of course on my way home it had to start raining but to be honest it felt absolutely fab running in the rain! And when it stopped I couldn't help but pretend that it was actually pouring and I was just dodging the rain matrix style xD

Since it's now autumn the leaves are turning a nice red and there was even a tree that had neon red/pink leaves which was beautiful!

I started C25K to get fit and lose weight however it's probably making me gain weight with all the wild blackberries I pop in my mouth! Their soooooooo yum!!

I can't believe I'm near the end and I can't wait to run again (<--- I can't believe I'm saying that either! )

Sounds like a great run, well done you! You're nearly there, keep it up! I never thought I'd enjoy running either but that's the magic of the plan!!
