W6R3 - it's in the bag!!

Left home at 6.45 this morning as my running buddy's children are back to school today. It was sunny but chilly with a heavy dew still on the grass. I'd mapped out a route on mapmyrun.com that I thought would take 25 minutes and once the five minute warm up was completed I was off (my buddies were on W3R1 today and stay running round the village green). I quickly got into my stride and started on my new route. Laura popped up 5 mins and then was quiet. I started to think surely I've done another five mins, where are you Laura?? Then she said I'd completed 12.5mins and was half way. I was back in familiar territory and I knew that the next bit of the run was 8mins. All of a sudden there was Laura with the 60 second call, and I knew I was going to make it - and I did!!!!

Week Seven here I come!

Magicdragon and DeliaItaly - good luck today!!
