Week 9 Run 1 done!

Good morning all! After a slightly arduous journey, I finally managed to complete Week 9 Run 1 of the programme. I rushed home from work so that I wouldn't be jogging in complete darkness, arrive at the park with my mum only to hear the groundskeeper ringing the bell... so suddenly we're being ushered out and I haven't even finished the warm-up yet! We decide to just go blindly up and down some roads which in the end turned out really well - I'm so used to the park that this new route made time fly, and 30 minutes seemed about 10! A brilliant run and I felt so invigorated afterwards :) Not long now until graduation, I can hardly believe it!

Well done itselenax - it's great to get that first 30 minutes under your belt 👍💪 You only need to do it two more times to graduate. 🎓

A new route really does make all the difference sometimes too 🙌

Thanks StoneDragon! I'm hoping that graduation day will be Sunday... will be having a cheeky takeaway as a celebration! :)

WoW after a seemingly dodgy stary you had a really good run, excellent. Great how an impromptu change of plan brought you a great result. Can hear how good you're feeling, enjoy. Nearly there...imagine how you'll feel when you graduate💪👏🏆😁. Well done. 🙋🙋

Thanks Buddhagal! I was so surprised at how much I enjoyed the new route - so I'm going to freestyle it again tomorrow on my run and see where my legs take me! :)
