Well, what can I say about my new purchase?! Best money I've ever spent as it now allows me to run in the early mornings again which I absolutely love โค๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

WK8R3 is in the bag and I feel great!!

As you can see from the picture that it's quite dark during my 5 min warm up walk(bottom right) so the torch came in very handy. The moon ๐ŸŒ™ was still out which left a beautiful reflection on the lake that is in the middle on the country park that I run round.

The cows ๐Ÿฎ were still sleeping this morning as I ran past them but I still said 'Morning' to them!! Rabbits ๐Ÿฐ and squirrels ๐Ÿฟ were playing as the sun was rising ๐ŸŒค and all felt right with the world.

I never thought that running would make me feel like this, I'm so glad to be part of this forum where I have found friends and have received loads of encouragement and advice. You all rock ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Being on WEEK 9 ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Go Kim, GO! It's amazing isn't it, I know I only run on a treadmill but the feeling of running is absolutely brilliant!

3 more runs, the podium is there for you, just waiting.

Thank you Lee ๐Ÿ˜Š

I have been thinking of getting one. Where did you get yours and what sort is it.

Looks like a lovely run.

It's an energizer one which I found in EBay for ยฃ7!! Does the job and for that price I can't complain!!

I absolutely love running at this time of the day. Never thought I'd be glad to hear an alarm go off at 6pm so I could go running!!

It's an energiser one and it only cost around ยฃ8. Well worth it to be able to see in the early mornings!!

Love it! Great pics I can see that you really need it there! I love early - but not as early as you! Feels so nice to be out in the quiet before anyone else is. You are really rocking this c25k! Lovely to see :)

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š As I have to leave for work at 7:45 and now that I'm doing the longer runs(it all takes at least 45 mins for me to do) I have to start at 6:15am!! Not too keen on the dark, dark mornings but about 5 mins into the run the sun starts to rise and it's beautiful ๐ŸŒ….
