... I have ran my fastest ever, 6.52 minutes for one kilometer. My fastest bit of the run always seems to be at the end which I was puzzled about but I knew I was getting a bacon sarnie & a cuppa when I got back so maybe I was running fast towards that?? Ha-ha!

I've just uploaded my run on the Nike website and I got a little moment of happiness when it said I had ran my fastest ever K, my fastest ever mile and also burnt the most calories in a run. Whoop! But do you know what, this run was absolutely awful *sighs*. I think I am coming down of the high from the last run but it just seemed like my breathing was all over the place and it seemed like so much effort to put one leg in front of the other. Half way through I was so tempted to give up but I said just 5 more minutes, then 5 more minutes etc until I was done. Maybe it wasn't a good run but I ran and I carried on and that's an achievement. Have got huge blister again now though, that's my reward for my determination lol! Ayhoo onwards & upwards to the last week of run 8 on Tuesday. Graduation is in sight.

Happy jogging folks x

once you get to the last few weeks with all long runs there are bound to be some which are better than others so you just put the bad ones down to experience and soldier on, just as you did :) well done!
