Well thats it...Week 9 Run 3 complete and I am feeling AMAZING!

9 weeks ago I was the laziest couch potato and struggled SO much with that first run! But I kept going and the change in me now is crazy. I am fitter, I have toned up, I am sleeping better, my blood pressure is lower and I really really look forward to my runs! Yes they are still tough, yes sometimes I think there's no way I can finish...but I carry on because that feeling after a run...I love it!

Yep I think I've definitely got the running bug!

So everyone struggling in those early weeks carry on!! It's so worth it!

Now I am off to treat myself to a slap up brekkie/brunch/lunch πŸ˜‚

Yay!!!! Many congratulations jenstar!! It feels amazing, doesn’t it?

I’m now in my second week of postgrad runs - still really enjoying them and just trying to run a little bit further. Ran 34 mins this morning - I just love my early morning runs in this glorious spell of weather we’re having.

Enjoy your postgrad runs, graduate!
