Week 9 Run 2 done, just the one to go!!!

So I went out after work and ran my regular weekday route around the business park. Felt a little apprehensive beforehand as I hadn't run since last Wednesday (although I have been cycling), my calves were still aching from traipsing around Edinburgh and I had a sore throat. However I immediately found a good but comfortable pace and the first 20 minutes were fine, last 10 were a bit of a struggle but overall 4.3k in 30 minutes at just under 7 mins per kilometre was good. Remarkably enough just one run until graduation, never thought I would say that. I was hoping to do it on Thursday which will be exactly 9 week's since I started but I think it will have to wait until the weekend. Roll on graduation 😁😁😁

Set your graduation run up carefully, for when you have time to enjoy it in an unrushed manner. That way you remember it for all the correct reasons.
