Felt like a tougher slower run today, a lot of hills and hot! Totally surprised to find I ran 5.1k....not too concerned with distance, just happy to be running 30 mins continuous, but boy did it feel great to achieve the 5k.

Graduation run Friday and looking forward to it...not even worried I have a night out tomorrow, designated myself driver so wont be drinking.

Good for you Franglaise on completing run 2 of week 9, relax tomorrow, hydrate well and you can possibly run a sub 30 minute graduation run on Friday, but don't worry about the time, the important thing is to run at a steady pace for 30 minutes, good luck. 👍

No relaxing on the agenda today....but the hydrating advice I will follow. Sub 30 sounds ambitious for this old girl but you never know.

Great job and congratulations on the 5k. Love every step of that run on Friday... and then you may need a driver!

I want to enjoy it. Al made me chuckle with sub 30!

I cant cope with hangovers anymore, rarely drink now so they are worse. I will just be happy with my badge and an ipod with my birthday money as I continue running,

It’s tough in the heat without hills so well done for including them. Good luck for your graduation run!
