At the start of all three runs this week I set off not completely sure I could do it again, but now I know I can and it feels great! That's not to say my distances are increasing, but we don't get hung up on the stats (or that's what I am repeating sternly to myself)! Also great news is that the running is having an impact on those menopausal sleepless shenanigans! Bring on week eight!

Week 7 here too, last run tomorrow. But oh Laura, why do you have to tell me 5 minutes (feels like 10), half way (you are kidding!), few minutes left (no! I want to carry on!).

Yup, running really does get under your skin!
