W9R1 done!

So this time last week I had hoped that today would be my graduation run but I haven't had much time to go out this week. This morning the girl cat woke me up at 5am for breakfast so, once she was sorted, the trainers went on. It's a beautiful morning here in Devon albeit a bit soggy from the rain overnight but the rabbits were out (running marginally faster than I was) and the birds were cheery. I may not be at the finishing line just yet but still have to pinch myself that I've made it to the final week. I found today's run much better than the last couple from week 8, actually felt I could've kept going for a bit longer which I'm taking to be a good sign :)

Thanks Nick, feel very fortunate to have such a lovely area to run, other than the many lambs, sheep, cows, rabbits and birds, there wasn't another soul around this morning, bliss :)
