Week 9 first run done, hot and sticky this morning, but wasn't going to put it off!

Different route along the river, found it hard going but I got there!!!😁😳

I still can't believe I have got this far....still slow, but once I've finished this week, I will work on speed.

Happy sunny weekend all 😎

You are almost on the finish line, well done! I think as long as you keep running, your speed will naturally improve by itself so keep us updated on your progress πŸ˜€

Well done. Personally, I could have done well to be a bit more tortoise like towards the end of the programme; and have had the IC intervals to prove it. Just keep going!
