Week 8 Run 2

Run tonight was ok - Battersea Park felt a bit like a race track tonight! But I have got used to people running past me and it doesn’t bother me any more. It was dark though and I think I may have to get some sort of reflective clothing or light to stop myself getting mown down by a bicycle! Was bothered by needing a wee almost as soon as I started but managed to get through it without an accident!! I went 3.77km including the warm up / down, this is the furthest I have travelled in the time so was pleased with that. The only thing that really bothered me was Laura pointing out that I only have a few runs left.....I try not to look to far ahead but what on earth am I going to do when the programme is finished?!?!
