Good morning all,

Back in the day I used to have a lie in on a Sunday, read the news, cup of tea but now I’m out the door at 7am trying to fight the really strong winds and ran 28 minutes (it was hard in the middle as I felt I was having a disagreement with the wind) but got better, then heard the lovely Jo say I had done it. Bring on the egg on toast and cup of tea ! Have a great Sunday everyone 🏃‍♀️ Next run planned for Tuesday ⏰

Thanks so much, I ended up laughing to myself because it felt I was getting nowhere in the wind and running on the spot💨 🏃‍♀️
