I've started running outside a bit - running on the treadmill is still easier, but it's also not realistic, and if I'm to have any hope of succeeding, I need to be able to run on roads, up and down hills, in the wind, blah blah blah... However, I have also been unwell, and am opting for treadmill over no run on days when my cough just won't shift and I don't want to spend an hour in the cold.
That said, John and I went to Somerset and Hampshire last week, and I had two absolutely glorious pre-dawn runs which saw the sun rising as I returned to our accommodation on the last leg. I'm so thrilled to be up to 5 km, and when I think "I'll never be able to run 21km", I have to remind myself that eight weeks ago, I could barely run for a minute at a time.
If you'd like to sponsor me, I am doing the Great North Run on the 13th of September 2015 in Newcastle. All sponsorship money will go to Mind, a mental health organisation that is doing great things! Go HERE to donate - anything helps, even £1.
Much love,
Corrie xx
