Well well well- wondered if my last run was a bit of a fluke bit turns out it wasn'tπŸ˜‚ I put a podcast on today for a change and before I knew it Jo whiley was saying 5 mins to go!!! Went out early this morning to avoid people and the heat!!! There is something quite special about running first thing before the day starts and not many people about. Glad to say I found my rhythm early on this run which hasn't happened before so something must be now setting in!!! Still snail pace but consistent πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Even had enough left in the tank with one minute to go for a little speed up and when the run was over felt I could have carried on today but did the warm down as instructed πŸ‘

Can't believe it's not long to go before graduation 😁 I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would be able to do this but I have found the whole program great and am quite addicted now-and look forward to the mornings I run even though it's 5.30am!!

Did the food shop in Aldi today and saw advert saying they have some gym/running clothes tomorrow in store - I wouldn't have even looked at that 7 weeks ago!!!!

Well done. Once you start buying those bright clothes you know you're hooked, as they’re useless for anything but running πŸ˜‚ Not long to go now - good luck with the rest of the programme!

Well done you. I got a printed leggings from Aldi on Sunday but never used it and waiting to wear it tomorrow for W9R2 :-) Hope it is a good one compared to other supermarket brands considering they say it is for running.

Glad you managed to get the leggings - hope they are ok - I didn't manage to get out in the end on Sunday and presume they will have sold out now!!! Good luck on w9 r2- the penultimate run πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈx
