Well done Debbie, you're doing great :) You did the running in the rain thing then? I bet the after-run shower was very welcome! Great to see you doing so well.

Hey Debbie! I knew you could do it! First run of the week was always the hardest for me, next one should be better. Slow and steady!

Funny isn't it ejvcruns but I always find the second half of the run easier then the first half - think really it's just me that's is odd!

Not just you, I do as well. The first 10-12 minutes are hard, and even horrible sometimes, it's the end of the run that sets you up for feeling great!

Not what you're looking for?
