Ever heard of her? A Goddess of running who kills any suitor who cannot out-run her ... thankfully I've got the lovely Laura instead. At my pace today Atalanta would definitely have killed me, but Laura seemed OK with me getting one plodding step at a time to the end of W8R2. The next C25K run for me will be on Saturday, but my local running club evening is in between. Thanks as ever for the support. (Go on ... look her up! ... you know you want to ...)
