Virtual Project Great North Run
It’s been long time since I updated the blog, in fact the last post was at the beginning of July after week 5 of Project Great North Run.
Project Great North Run Week 5
I ended last week feeling that I had a bit of consistency and motivation. Spoiler alert this week did not follow the same pattern.

Although it’sContinue reading “Project 10K Week 1”
