Hello fellow runners,

My last run was Wednesday evening and after having to put back my next run day twice I finally got out this morning, little later than planned. It was considerably warmer and the cycle track busy with cyclist and dog walkers.

Those extra 2 minutes weren’t as tough as I thought they would have been however I did feel my pace was much slower than previous runs.

I am amazed at how I’ve managed to stick to this considering how much I disliked the first few weeks and I now only have 2 more runs till I complete the programme.. 🏃‍♀️

Congratulations Anna on completing run 1 of week 9, not long now until you graduate, onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 9.

This afternoon I will go for a short 15K 🚴 cycle ride, it's a beautiful day for a 🚶 walk, 🏃 run, or 🚴 cycle ride.

Thank you, Alan, for always encouraging and pushing me forward! ✊🏻

I feel fabulous after my run today! Wish we could bottle this feeling haha

Wish I had half your energy! Enjoy your day! 🚴‍♀️

Update, just after 3pm, back after my short cycle run, nice easy run, not the pace I see that spin class going at when I pass it on a Thursday. I am so happy that you feel fabulous after your run today.

I am now in the garden having a muffin and a drink of coffee with the radio on? *😀.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and relax.

*which station you may ask???.

And what a glorious day to be put on your bike!

Hats off to anyone who does spin classes! That looks too much like hard work for me! 🤪

Hee hee...either Classic or Scala! But maybe West Sound..😜

It begins with the letter S

They are play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata at this very moment 15.39.

Spin classes look to me like a punishment exercise, I can see this class doing them when I pa's it on a Thursday, I have also seen a video on YouTube, even for a seasonal 🚴 cyclist like me that looks very hard, however, I wouldn't know how hard as I have never been on one of those stationary bikes.

Well done, AnnaHod! I did the same run this morning, did feel a bit nervous about stepping up to 30 minutes but really didn't notice the extra two minutes when I was doing them. Like you, I did not enjoy the first few weeks (I liked the feeling of accomplishment after though) and I have amazed myself by sticking with it. It's a brilliant feeling, isn't it? I'm even quite enjoying the actual running now. Except for any uphill bits. I still hate those and I probably always will! 😂 Good luck for the rest of Week 9.

Hey Debston,

Well done, sounds like you’ve had a great run today!

It’s a great feeling indeed and kinda crept up on me..

Boo to the hills, maybe one day we’ll both embrace them more 😜 but for now let’s get these 2 runs in and graduate! Can’t wait! 🏃‍♀️
