Was starting to find my early morning jogging really hard work and not enjoying so much so figured I would try at lunchtime today and it was soooo much better! It was still hard but I really enjoyed it, ran my best time yet and managed 4.5k (including the walks) so whilst i think it unlikely I'll make 5k by end of week 9 i do think its achievable for me - eventually! 😊

I tip my hat to anyone who gets up early to run, I can just about function enough to drink my coffee first thing πŸ˜‚

Running πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ first thing in the morning is the best time the air is fresh you can hear the morning chorus and there are very few people about. Roxy

I love being out early and I was heading out at 5.30 most days so it was so peaceful but I just dont seem to have the energy at that time of day to make it/ enjoy it now that the runs are getting longer πŸ˜ͺ

I agree with you, think I’ll do 5K in about 40 mins at the moment, still got the rest of W8 to do but I’m getting there! Well done and keep it up! 😊
