Hi gang!

I did it! First run of week 7 done. I dragged myself round a bit today but I did it without too much of a second thought! I did a teeny bit further and a teeny bit faster, not intentional but good anyway!!!!

How did it go Saul?

Well done running partner, was it cold or what today! Mine went well, the app and my own playlist....wow!

Here's something regarding your stats, did you know you are now running almost a minute faster than the beginning of the month!! Give yourself a tap on the back.

Awww thanks for noticing that! I'm proper chuffed! I was lengthening my stride a bit more tonight and really cracked on! I did struggle a bit tonight because I was tired but didn't stop!

We are so close to the end now..........I can't believe it! xxx

I don't know really. I'd like to do a 10K, that would be awesome but if I can do a 5K I'd be really happy so baby steps! How about you? xxx

I'll probably stick to 5k for now, and possibly May/June look at 10k...nights are longer and warmer.

Was also thinking of park runs and maybe some of these event 5k runs (try and raise money for charity and stuff)

Yeh park run is probably next on my list too! I've signed up for Race for Life in June as it's near to my heart as I had breast cancer a few years ago so I'm always up for raising some money for cancer research!!!! xxx
