Hi! Been away for what seems like an eternity, graduated last march and carried on to do 5k runs and felt really good, then summer happened and the kids were off school. Didn't run for almost 2 months and felt like crap about it. BUT two weeks ago I decided to get my arse on gear and start again at the beginning, I'm now on week 3 and loving it. I've missed all my friends on here and now I kinda need your motivation again:) tomorrow ill be running straight from school and I can't wait!

My goal is to do the nine weeks and then bridge to ten k, here's hoping:)
