I am obviously getting too good at following the advice to go slow if I am getting tired. I managed my 30minute run today at a slower rate (according to Strava) than last week. However the rain wind and mud may have been a factor. I am proud of myself for actually running in the conditions today, it would have be very easy to decide not to run and to stay indoors with a nice cup of tea

Go you ! ⭐️ All sorts of things can affect a run, and the state of the ground is definitely one of them ! All the best for your victory run x

Great job... slow is good... mud makes it slower too. Enjoy every single step of that next run.

Well that's 2 people who have ran W9R2 today and are looking forward to their graduation run in a few days time. I wish you Knitruntalk and BCK all the best, I know both of you will do it.

You did very well today in running that 30 minutes in the mud and ☔ rain. I hope you enjoyed that nice cup of tea after you completed the run 🏃 😊.

I won't graduate until next weekend as work and babysitting grandchildren mean I can only fit in my runs at the weekend
