There's no such thing as too slow, you are doing amazingly well.

Nope... not ever... always comfortable and always fun :) Unless being chased by a bear :) Then run as fast as you are able:)

The awesome runners know and will tell you... we always finish with something left in the tank... :) Never, ever push too hard... :)

On the podcasts Mr Smooth says from time to time, you may like to change your pace have you ever tried the speeding up bit? I never did because I was always swearing at him and frankly with our hills, my only pace change was slower... but towards the end try gearing up just a little....

Go Polly! Go Polly! Go Polly! It's great to hear that you finish the first run of week 9. I have a cold but was meant to go out today for the same run. Still unsure whether to chance it. But I want that champagne!
