Dodged the rain and week 8 complete (just)

[alcopop]

Well the rain stopped and the sun came out as I set off for my final run of week 8. I had a rubbish week at work and needed to let it go. Did not drink enough at work (two drinks all day) so i made sure I had my bottle of water with me on my run.

The second half was hard work and I honestly thought i would have to stop............how the heck am I going to week 9, those two extra minutes might as well be two hours.......sorry all, perhaps it is because I know how hard it was for me to complete my run tonight. Still on the bright side, i have lost half a stone in weight since I started.

Have a good weekend all.

Hi well done alcopop! I did run 3 of week 8 today too and OMG it was hard. I came so close to stopping (at about 16 minutes!) and not sure how I'll do in week 9......still waiting to enjoy it I love how I feel afterwards but whilst running I hate it

Anyway, this time next week we may be asking for out graduate badges!!
