W9R1 done, just 2 to go until I graduate!! I live close to a long hill, usually I plan my route to avoid it as physiologically it had overwhelmed me. Today I threw caution to the wind and with my new found self belief thought β€œin for a penny, in for a pound” and ended my last couple of minutes of my 30 running up it πŸ™ŒπŸ» Chuffed to bits, that hill will not phase me again !! Feeling jubilant!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Happy running 😊

Somebody had a hit song about running up hills......very uplifting!!

Those personal challenges will keep happening and keep your running fresh and exciting.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Well done on conquering that hill! The mind is a powerful thing. You should play kate Bush "running up that hill" for inspiration πŸ˜‚

Good luck with your next 2 runs, you will smash it! Graduation is in sight! 😁
