I can't quite believe I've made it 9 weeks and I'm this close to graduation!
Knee felt fine the last couple of days and I wanted to go out yesterday but for various reasons it didn't happen until today. I could really feel those 5 days without running! My breathing was really heavy for the first time since weeks 1 & 2 and those gremlins were out in force telling me that I'd lost all my running ability in those 5 days and that I definitely couldn't do 30 minutes anymore. First 10 & last 5 were hard going but I got through it even after being absolutely soaked in a downpour (which was quite fun actually) and running into the wind along the seafront (which was not so fun). I used to see people running in weather and think they were crazy. Now it seems I'm one of them!
Felt so good to be back out there, particularly with a new toy - a gps running watch which my parents bought me as an impending graduation present when they heard I was running! Looking forward to being able to track all my runs and progress from now on. W9R2 done - not going to call it my penultimate run as I'm hoping there will be many more from here Next stop, graduation!!!

Great that your fitness hadn't really left you it was just gremlins. I think it takes full 10 mins to settle into a run Just think when we would never have thought runs could last as long as 10 minutes!
Nice one Melly - you are great keeping going in that sort of weather!! I'm sure you will graduate in style - looking forward to hearing all about it!! 😄
