WhaT a weekend! Hope everyone survived it.As I set off today I was blocked on one side by a massive tree fell ( pictured) and when I turned and crossed the bridge there was a massive deep puddle all across the path. I draw the line at running in wellies.I turned again and came acRoss a HUGE tree down in our park though fortunately not blocking. I carried on till I came to Lauras last 5 minute warning. So thrilled because by now I knew I could do this. It really helps when she says 'You can definitely do this.' I felt so pleased when I hit the 30 minutes. Great feeling. 1 down 2 more to go. Just don't snow....not in myour last week.

Depends where you are, it might snow in some places, congratulations on completing run 1 of week 9, looks like you had some difficulties with all those fallen trees, onwards and upwards to run 2, good luck for your graduation run 3 of week 9.
