I completed W9R2 today!! And that means - no, I shan’t say it...

Another point, I usually drive for my runs to the local town and to a flat circuit. With the recent talk of hills (you know who you are -runningmigster) I thought ditch the drive and go from home. I live on a hill and surrounded by hilly roads. Did feel anxious but kept it slow and..... I’m alive!!! Thought I’d end up backside up, face down in a ditch. And feeling super chuffed with myself. Face was full glory 🍅🍅.

I was scared in case running around home would put me off but so glad I did. Was tough going but I just feel so pleased with myself for doing.

I'm the opposite, I have to drive to get to a hill. I have started introducing them one run in three. I'm sure they're doing me good but I haven't noticed them getting any easier.

I've still got that champagne on ice 😁
