Week 9 - Run 3

I woke this morning and was ready to run at 06:30. Heavy rain and the lack of light were trying to send me back to bed - however, it was the last run and the motivation to get out was high. I still struggled with the first 10 minutes, however once I settled in to a rhythm - after getting some of the uphill bits out of the way, I managed to finish - and ran 4.85km in the 30 mins. So that's it! Graduated - to much applause from my iPhone and the bemused looks from people at the bus stop as I sauntered by. I guess its 10k next - although I want to get my speed up first and get the 5k in under 30 minutes sorted.
