Week 9 underway!

I ran run 1 of week 9 this morning. 6.30 am was already warm. Take care if you’re running later as it will be a lot warmer still. I’m used to the coolness of the early morning but didn’t seem to have that today - the shady parts of my route were very welcome and at least my sunglasses didn’t steam up as much as they normally do at half way. The run felt a bit harder today as do all of my run 1s. I know the next 2 will feel slightly better as that seems to be my pattern so far. The last 15 minutes were better. It’s that dreadful toxic 10 that creeps up and it’s a good job I know it goes away as quick as it comes on. I was surprised when Laura told me I had 5 minutes left as I extended my route to fit the extra minutes in. I didn’t want to run around the block again to get those last few minutes in. It worked nicely as I was at my usual place where I have around 10 mins to go when I only had 5. A nice surprise!

Well done, only two more runs until graduation! And great that your extended route worked out perfectly. I'm off to run in the woods in a mo, hoping for plenty of shade and a nice cool breeze...
