I went out at 7 this morning for my 30 min run and came back dripping wet, but a lovely hot shower, warm fluffy towels and a cup of coffee soon sorted me out and I had a lovely warm glow for the rest of the day.

Well done getting to week 8, you're so close to graduating now, and good luck for tomorrow mornings weather.

It WAS good, thank you....I loved the flashing belt.. although it was sunny this morning much earlier...! Duh! But, I did not get squished by turning cars... so all good.

I changed my route, as the lovely Laura suggests...but it was much busier... and noisier... and people... ( not sure about people):) I ended up going further too and had a long walk back...got a bit lost I think...!

I much prefer my lanes and tracks and think I may do that for run 2 on Friday... weather permitting.

I found the 28 minutes okay and was surprised when it was ended really... hope that lasts for run 2 and 3..so enjoying it.. and will keep you posted. :)
