Wk 9 first run out of the way

Dragged myaelf out of bed this morning after having a few glasses of red last night πŸ™„. First run of week 9 and I should know better - tut tut

Anyhow, I was determined so off I went, Faithless in my ears to give me an extra bounce. Weather was glorious, hazy sun and not too cold. I think rain is due later.

Got my pace around 8 mins and started to enjoy myself, had to really push myself when Jo said 10 mins left. My body was feeling the effects of last nights... only myself to blame !

Got back and felt so much better for getting out. Pace still not brilliant, but that can be improved as I get stronger etc. Just so happy I can run/ jog / move lol for 30 mins.

Happy running all πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

I'm focusing on being able to run 3 x weekly for at least 30mins and just see how far I can go.. hopefully if I feel ok I will do a bit more each time or each week and in time get up to that magic 5k! I'm up to 3.6k in 30mins at the moment ;-)
