Week 8 is proving tricky, so I ran the first run well over a week ago, wrote on here how it was all good, really chuffed with myself. Then last weekend I went to do run 2, flipping heck, my shoulder started playing up, I have rotator cuff probs, then my nose starts to run, snot everywhere haha it was hot weather and my lungs felt like they could not fill with air, and I was sniff sniff sniff with my runny nose lol so at 23 mins I stopped, my first bad run, bad enough to have to stop. I had been lucky up to then.

Anyway, nose is now not snotty, dosed up on pain relief for my shoulder (the steroid injection is wearing off) it was cooler and raining a bit, but this morning I completed run 2, so a bigger WOO HOO than Run 1 haha so pleased I did it, hope to do run 3 at weekend, then one more week to go, hope i can complete this!! I am sooooo close :)

Well done! Have also had a delay in getting to run 2. We're hoping to go tonight. Thunderstorm last night stopped us!
