Week 8 – Busy Week
So this week I was really busy but I wasn't going to let that stop me from getting the running in. The move to morning runs has helped that, it is really easy to find excuses not to run when you are doing it over lunchtime or after work. If you are doing it in … Continue reading Week 8 – Busy Week
