Small note to self, starting run when it’s still below freezing will make breathing hurt a bit...but it wears off!! Beautiful day in the highlands - and when the halfway point markersounded I had to check it was what it was as I thought I had another burst to go! Covered 4K, felt fab...bring on week 2.

(I think the photos may explain why it felt so good!!)

When it's really cold try using a buff (Google but basically a thin stretchy fabric tube) that can be worn in a multitude of ways but over your nose and/or mouth will help warm the air before it hits your lungs and take away some of the pain.

Beautiful place to run. You are really on your way now. Congratulations, you won't regret it.

Brrr! Is that snow on them there hills? Well done on completing Week 1 and doing 4k today. You certainly have lovely countryside to run in and it will be even better this week with the warmer weather
