Week 3 in the tank!

Unlike the clear blue skies of my last run I started off with a gust of wind strategically aimed at the trusty beanie. Managed to grab it before it sailed into the canal. Wind subsided then there was a slight smatter of rain. Then it stopped and i carried on boldly Doing The Snail. On the home stretch a touch of hail just made me feel all the more pleased with myself for getting out today along with all the 'proper' runners!!! Onwards to week 4!!!

Snail in hail? Fab!!! I would be lying if I said I was enjoying it - but the sense of achievement week by week is fantastic. Newbie runners this is for you - its bloody hard but its amazing how it actually works if you grit ur teeth, get on with it and enjoy the feeling of progressing week by week!
