One run left!

Week 9 run 2 was a bit different! No sooner had I uttered the word "run" than the heavens opened and the thunder started. So, I headed reluctantly to the gym to use a treadmill for only the second time in the programme. The upside was that instead of just running the thirty minutes I pushed a little harder and ran for 34 so that I could say, for the first time, "I ran 5k"! Next run is graduation- on Saturday! Yippee 😄 Happy running, friends.

Thanks! Still can't believe that ten weeks ago I struggled to run for a single minute! Good luck with your running too.

Very well done for getting to 5k and a great time too. I did my first 5k at the gym as well. Enjoy your graduation run!
