One more to go

[earl-grey-sian]

Well I wasn't sure that this morning's run would happen, having needed to pay several visit's to the bathroom (I'm sure I don't need to be more explicit that that!). I was determined that today would be the day for W8R2, so I decided to ignore the rumblings that my body was making and go out before the rain came (which it did, just as I finished)

The fact that I managed to get Runkeeper to find the gps signal for the first time in ages was a good omen. So off I set. What is it about breaking into a run/jog/shuffle that instantly make me feel like I need to pee? Am I the only one or do lots of us feel this?

Anyway, to cut a long and not particularly exciting story short, I did it again. 30 minutes non-stop running/jogging/shuffling. That means only graduation run to go!

I haven't stuck properly to the programme for the last few weeks, I've missed out a few runs and have abandoned Laura, so I've told myself that I haven't graduated until I run 3 lots of 30 minutes in a row. I'm a little apprehensive about Sunday as the forecast is for much lower temperatures, which effect the asthma, but hopefully determination and sheer bloody mindedness will win!

Very well done, soon to be Graduate! I can go most of the day without pee breaks, but just as soon as I get ready to run, the urge hits several times! Must be a woman thing! I say: order the shirt! What color are you going to get? Steve and I went to order them the week of our Graduation, but shipping to the States was outrageous for the two. We just decided to treat ourselves to Garmins instead. Looking forward to your Grad blog!! Gayle

A pale blue one methinks Gayle.

I'm glad I'm not the only victim of need-to-pee syndrome!

[vikicats Graduate]

I'm right there with you too! And normally the urge reappears at 5 mins in.

I've got the pale blue top, looks good.

I hope the graduation run goes well, Sian - I look forward to seeing your celebratory blog in the next few days! They're forecasting snow here on Sunday so I hope your breathing isn't compromised by the cold and you can enjoy your run.

I'm with you on the ntp syndrome - and worse! Five minutes after I start running my body seems to go into rebellion

Really enough of the pee talk already! Well done to you Sian you seem to

just improve every time you run. Youre such a huge inspiration to me.

Will you run away with me?
