Well thats me done the last run in glorious sunshine this morning. I started the programme on 22nd February and had one rest day in between runs to begin with, but as the times increased sometimes I had 2 or 3 days between runs. I started off thinking it would be easy, but even the first run I was getting shin splints! No problems now though. I persevered through the beast from the East jogging in a wind chill of minus 11! Most of my runs have been done in the evening and I live in the country so got to run whilst watching the Northern lights one night. Now to train and aim for a 10k.
