Bye bye, Week 8 - you were fun

Week 8, Run 3 DONE! It was a really lovely one, through the bluebell woods and round the lake and no uphill stretches. I'm annoyed with myself because I forgot to tell mapmyrun that I had finished running and I was hoping to see my running pace but never mind. It felt like a good one and that's the main thing. Onwards I go into Week 9!

Thanks Astra, I can hardly believe that I have stuck with the programme! Not giving up now!

No no no way do you give up now!!!!!! It is like passing your driving test though, you get your badge then start to run on your own. I crashed earlier today but will be ready to go on the next one in a day or 2 😅

Great stuff, sounds like a lovely run. It's a great time to be running isn't it? Think we've timed it just right.

Me too, aren't we clever? 😂 I just hope that we'll be able to cope OK with summer heat (if we get a heatwave like last year, I'll be gutted!). I'm no good at getting up early but I might have to force myself out for a dawn run...

Thanks, I do hope so! Definitely felt like I could have kept going a bit longer this morning so I'll take that as a good omen...
