1st run for almost two weeks.. last attempt was first run Outsode for W7 r2 and did not go so well..

Well next day somehow got a bad head cold in the hot spell (how does that work!) and only today felt ok so decided to go again and still Outside (see previous post kittens still hogging treadmill)

And... managed to do the 25 mins albeit very slow and leg feeling it more than normal...Couple of lessons - switched off Runkeepr reminders and just waited for Laura - think I heard too many updates last time and went to a playlist vs Radio and got lucky everytime I wanted to stop ans great new song came on and told myself to at least finish the song!

Well now to a weeks holiday so may now skip a week - aim to take stuff and see if can do 10 / 15 mins couple of times but depends on the hills - its south cost Cornwall and sometime its hard to find flatish space

Back to it, now hoping to finish maybe end August... (fingers crossed)

Well done getting back out after 2 weeks, these summer colds are a nuisance.

I’m off to find the kitten post (crazy cat lady in training over here), but outside is way better

Great to see you out there again, I am off to The Lakes this weekend, will take my running stuff but unlikely that I'll be doing much running, lots of walking mind
