I'm very pleased with today's run as six months ago running 8 miles along this route would have been unthinkable - today it was hard work but achievable.
:D
Well done on the prizes Rich; you must be chuffed. That was a nice reward for your efforts. :T
Becky - your posts made me laugh - but it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind.

A nice relaxing run this evening in very refreshing Yorkshire rain.
The focus now turns to Sunday with the aim of, hopefully, trying to manage 2 back to back sub-19 minute 5Ks for a sub 38 minute 10K....we will see!:D
Nice running, Simply - its a big part of the fun looking back and realising how much you've improved. Good innit?:D:DGt NW 1/2 Marathon 21/2/2010 (Target=1:22:59) (6:20/mile) 1:22:47 (6:19):j:j
