Week 8 runs done...getting there!

3 Replies

Well week 8 runs done and dusted and finally felt it falling into place on R3 today. It's definitely a case of mind over matter and when I graduate ( I will, I can, I will, I can....) I shall be taking on board the tips and tricks from all you lovely folk re coping strategies. I like the idea of audio books as a distraction just got to remember to listen out for cars on our narrow country lanes!!

Week 9? Bring it on! Exciting!

One earbuds is often recommended when on roads. I just have my volume very low and you soon get used to that level.
