First 8k run...feeling happy!πŸ˜€

Just wanted to share the news of a good run this morning, and the first time I have run 8k (time 52 mins). A lovely route up along the old railway line - VERY wet in places and of course muddy!πŸ˜€ Got in to a really good rhythm though and really enjoyed the run. That 10k in March is definately within reach now and I really feel that I am reaping the reward of just getting on and getting out there!

Happy running all!πŸ˜€πŸƒπŸ»πŸ˜€

Chapeau! 10k sounds so far, I cannot really imagine running it yet but at 8k already, it is definitely within your grasp
