Somewhat nervously I did the first run of week 9 and completed it this morning! Whats this? me running for 30 mins? Surely not! Oh yes it was!

Given sore calves last time, I took an extra days rest and critically

I followed mentors advice ( thank you old floss) and took it steady. Result I ran only a couple of hundred metres more than on my 28 min run, but feel great. Treated myself to some new running shoes, now that my addiction is beginning to become confirmed.

Keep on running!

Oh well done- that's great. I

I really identify with that " Is this really me" stuff! I am just one run ahead of you- see you on that podium. 😄

Ha. Yep, have definitely made the transition from " why is that idiot running?" to "Nice running shoes!"

Thankyou. Might be a Tardis because you never know where they are going to turn up.

Indeed, she is on Galifrei at the moment wondering where to go next. BTW thanks for your support. This forum is really quite special IMHO.
