Well, I had a busy day interviewing (mocks) Year 10 and 11 at my daughter's school today and decided I needed some fresh air afterwards, so threw on my (new) running gear and went to the park.
As I haven't run for 5 days, I was feeling a bit nervous, but I managed to get through Week 9 run 1. It wasn't my best run, by a long way, but it was an ok run, which given the hectic week I've had and the focus has been on some gruelling cycle rides, is really good.
Getting out there is the important bit, and it was a good run! you've only got 2 more to go now. Exciting huh?
I know! It's amazing to think I couldn't run for just a couple of minutes without gasping for breath only a couple of short months ago. I'm really looking forward to my graduation run.
I'm quite looking forward to having a glass or two of wine to celebrate, I've been steering clear with the prep for races (run/cycle) as I know it really affects my performance the next day, so I can let my hair down.
This course has been wonderful. It hasn't just got me fit again, it's given my confidence an extra boost and I've lost a fair amount of the squidgy bits* I put on when I was commuting 130 miles a day and working in an office with free breakfast & lunch and too many client lunches.
* sounds so much nicer than 2 stone, don't you think?
Back and running again!!! 
Running on consecutive days.
