Week 9 run 2

First park run. Would have waited till I finished week nine, but it was for a good fundraising cause. Very nervous, as knew it was much further than I've ever run. Start was a good 5 minute walk from the car park, so that was good. Didn't stop, again good. Just plodded away till the end. Going at the same speed as some of the walkers on the uphills, but decided that it would be about the distance for me. Anyway made it to the end. 45 minutes. Chuffed to bits and means I get tomorrow (my usual run day) off. Should be fresh for wk9r3. So close.😆

Hopefully that'll be the case soon, but I can safely say I am sooo tired. Food in order.

Give it a week and you'll be raring to go again. In the meantime, enjoy that food!

I'm so glad I did it. Loads of support. Looking forward to W9 R3 now. It'll feel so much easier. I hope.

Well done, that's fantastic and raising money for a good cause too! Next time, you'll have the confidence of knowing you have already done it, hills and all. Brilliant stuff!

Fantastic I can’t wait to do my Park Run. Just approaching week 9 and fingers crossed my last run should be on Saturday so might just do the park run.
