Week 8 done!

Today's run, the final of week 8, was a tough one. I set off on my usual route and as I was about to start running two loose horses came galloping towards me! Boy they gave me a jump! I managed to get away without them either following me or trampling all over me but it meant I needed to take a different route. It made it much trickier not having my usual spots telling me how far I've gone and so the temptation to check the clock was strong. Anyway, it's done and week 8 is done too! I still can't believe I've progressed from where I was in week 1. This time next week I should be graduating!

Happy running all!

You are doing really well. It rubbish when something interferes with a run it can be really off putting! Still at least you didn't get trampled!
