Week 8 run 1

I can't believe that I managed to run for 28 minutes non stop. I managed to run up the 2 steep hills of the local park run route within the first 15 minutes, which meant it was all downhill from there on. The second half of the run was much more comfortable but then I had got the hardest part of the run over with. It was windy and I had to run into this for part of the way but I managed to avoid the rain (it just started raining as I got home).

Onwards and upwards to the next run. Hopefully will do this on Monday depending on my aching hip, otherwise will have to wait until my next day off on Thursday.

Good luck to everyone else running today.
