Week 8 Run 1- sneaky Laura!

[Celtprof]

Luckily, at the very end of a tough run tonight, I remembered that Laura tries to trick us! She didn't get one over on me though! Unfortunately, I was slightly delirious as I had messed up my route and ended up slogging uphill for the crucial last three minutes. So, when I realised that Laura was trying to trick me into stopping early, I over-reacted slightly by shouting "Aha! You sneaky cow!" rather too loudly.  It would have been fine had I not been running past a full bus shelter at the time.  However, 28 minutes done! A tough run, in the pouring rain  with an unexpected hill, but these are the ones that feel the best to finish! Good luck with all the runs this weekend, friends.

Wondered about the news flash about a strange runner, yelling at unsuspecting bus passengers..

Well done you.. especially the hill! Embrace the hills... they are just flat roads.. etc etc..

The hill did make me slow right down...in fact, it took me ages to overtake a walking pedestrian!

Great work. Graduation so close now 😀

I know! I can't believe it, can you? I don't want to jinx it, but I figure if we can run the 28 minutes this week then we can't mess it up too badly, surely?! At one point (around week 2) I had serious doubts that I would ever get to week 8!

No, should be plain sailing from here on in, although the programme still has its challenges. I had serious doubts I'd ever be able to run for 5 minutes, let alone get this far.

Well done!

Thanks Shivani! Hope you are enjoying post-graduation running...

Oh dear!  That did make me giggle though

Well done on the run though.  Finishing uphill... you should be proud
