Another one in the bag!

Sorry to bang on about the weather, but it really affects how I feel about running!

Although sunny here today there was a sharp nip in the air, so woolly hat was on.

However, once I’d gone for ten minutes, off it came! I kept it slow and steady and was happy with my pace.

Running back towards home, there was wind in my face, but I was glad of it.

Next run will be on Wednesday

Congrats, I had a similar experience this morning for W9R2. Although didn't wrap up warm and spent the first 10 mins feeling very cold and sad but, like you, *triumphant* at the end :)

Best of luck with your next run. I can see you're a graduate, is this the second time you are doing Couch to 5K?

Hi, yes. I let things slide over the Winter so am back again. A fair weather runner! Good luck to you. The good thing about second time around, is that I know it’s achievable

Well done! I should’ve started Week 9 today but just felt really really tired so decided to give myself an extra rest day... hopefully I’ll feel more up for it tomorrow 🤞

Congratulations to you EPMcM on almost completing C25K with Run 1 of week 9, I read somewhere for runners to wear what the temperature is minus 3C, so if the temperature is 10C wear something more suitable for 7C. good luck for your graduation run.
