Week 7 has begun!

Just finished my first run of week 7. Felt good to just run and not stop. Got into a good rhythm and just kept going. Even managed a change of speed at the end! Woooo! Feel like I'm running better although I felt like I went slower than my last run. Maybe it was the early morning or the thought of returning to work today after the long holidays? Who knows all I keep thinking is I did it and week 9 is in sight!
