Week 8 is underway! In the rain!

So just returned from the first run of week 8! Not too bad considering it was mainly in the rain!

A few clouds wasn’t going to put me and my son off! We had new running gear to try out!

We both got a light running jacket- mine is neon yellow- so very embarrassing for a teenager to be seen with! He got a very smart blue!

I got a long sleeved running top with holes for your thumbs- 7 weeks ago I don’t think I knew such things existed!

He had new trainers too - finally he went off ahead of me after 2 km. He didn’t have the app and ran on much further but he’s improving so much on this programme he’s fine now! Young and fitter!

Great start to the week!

Congratulations on completing run 1 of week 8, if everyone didn't run when there were clouds in the sky, there would be no running at all anywhere, onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 8, not long now until you graduate.
