W5R2 Half way

Ran for 2x8 minutes today. Sad fact that I haven't run 8 minutes continuously since school. Over 40 years ago.

Just shows you that you're never too old to change.

Perfect day too today, -7°C crisp snow, and lots of other runners about. Maybe one day I'll even be able to keep up with them ☺️☺️☺️

Well done on the runs! You’ll be at half an hour of running before you know it! And as always, what an utterly stunning photo, I admire you greatly for running through the snow

Me too! 😊 I also managed the 20min run yesterday. I haven't run since school, at least not on purpose! It's such a great feeling isn't it? Well done!
