Week 9 run 1

Completed week 9 run 1 today on my second attempt...run one I got an awful stitch and stopped after just 11 minutes! I've been using a belt to put my phone in so I took that off and started walking home....after 5 minutes or so I felt much better so I restarted the app and off I went...before I knew it Sarah was telling me I had done it and to start walking. So foolishly I ran a total of 41 minutes this morning! Hoping this doesn't cause me any issues for my next run!

Take your next run a little slower, you should be fine as long as you don’t make a habit of it. If you get stitch let out a loud “HUH”, it helps to force the air out of you and eleviate stitch, it sounds weird and people can look at you but it does work 😀. Happy running.
