We did our fourth run of Week 9 today!

I think I'm getting faster, although I have a long way to go. I will admit that I didn't use the podcasts in Week 9 because the music was starting to get to me. I moved onto my own choice of music and although I miss Laura's encouragement, the music really helped.

My boyfriend's a lot faster than me, but it's cool because we do the walks together and the running separately.

I still can't quite get my head around having completed Week 9. Three months ago, I could hardly run for a minute, now I can do 30 mins!

Next step is to gradually increase my pace so that I can run faster and cover more distance in that 30 mins. Here's hoping!
