Week 9 Run 2, bedraggled but happy

So dark and wet out there at 6am. Wussed it til 6:45. Discovered rain is my friend - keeps me cool! Also, that my favoured forest route has MANY puddles. Gave up trying to run around them, so ran through and realise swampy mud is NOT my friend, much dragging out of stuck feet! Back in the dry, trainers run under the tap and hoping they'll be dry for Friday - W9R3!!!!!

Thanks Annieapple. I'm astonished that I can run for thirty minutes and still breathe!!! My W1R3 self would never have believed it 💓

Well done! It's amazing the progress you can make! I did my W7R1 yesterday and got very wet but I still really enjoyed it. I've got W7R2 tomorrow and can't wait, never would have caught me saying that a couple of months ago.
