W8r2 in the bag

If anyone had asked me 8 weeks ago.......! Very excited this morning, waited until my partner had gone out on a bike ride and set off. Just me and Laura (on my arm!) My longest solo run to date. I was a bit concerned that I wouldn’t make it without someone cheering/nagging me on. Slow and steady does it, I got to the end with something still in the tank! Hey! If I can run 28 minutes, I can run 30. This running bug has bitten me hard!

Excellent! Well done. The jump from W7 to W8 is bigger (in minutes and %) than W8 to W9. You’ve got this.
