Much better run today, confidence restored :-D

Well went out again this morning, this time not wrapped up like an Eskimo and I managed my full 5k, so pleased as only done 30 mins before and just fell shy, this time I was cool. Comfortable and I just carried on, right up that bloody great hill at the end of my run that I normally try and avoid and beyond even further. Oh and when I checked my Nike plus at one section I even managed a 9 min mile. Self confidence is restored :-D

Off to sports direct to treat myself to some new winter running gear, Happy days :-D

Fantabulous, James! Knew you'd be ok. I did the opposite this morning and went out without enough warm layers, froze! But I did enjoy my Speed podcast run. And woohoo about that hill! What a star!

Thanks Soozz, treated myself to some running rights ha ha, me in tights lol, a long sleeved running top and shell coat, oh and gloves. Not use them yet but when drops really cold. I must give the speed run a go, I'm not fast enough though. Anyway at least we're getting out and doing it, feels good doesn't it .

Take care
