Dexy5 told me not to forget so here I am for a short and sweet post! My second 9km run today, actually it was a naughty 9.5. I’ll be doing a non-Parkrun 5k on Saturday to complete week 7 on the Magic Plan and then next week it’s the Big One!! Eeek! Happy running folks!

Fantastic effort, so so close to that 10k, I’m impressed you actually stopped at the 9.5, when I did that run I just kept going to the 10🤣🤣 completing your 10 next week will be so fantastic. Happy running 🤗

Thanks Grannyhugs! Head said let’s go for 10; legs reminded me that I’d said we were sticking to the plan today and 9k was the plan - and threatened strike action when I do go for the 10 if I didn’t stop!

Thank you SAR! Can’t quite believe I’ve got this far - the last km seems both daunting and doable at the same time!

So, so close now Oldgirlruns. I knew you’d do it, just a measly 500m to go and I will be there to clap you in - from a safe distance of course.

Enjoy that easy 5k over the weekend. Who’d have thought 5k would be classed as easy?

🏃‍♀️👏👏

I know - silly isn’t it! Even I’m referring to ‘only’ 4 or 5k! Aagh!

You are tuning up to the final week all ready to shine! Well done you. The next shorter one will be a great end to the week for you. Superb stuff.

A) I’m impressed you ran 9.5k 🎉🎉

B) I’m impressed that you didn’t run 10k!

That’s some willpower, not going for the gold OGR. 😅😅

Enjoy virtual PR on Saturday (I’ll be there) and I’ll get the bubbly put on ice for next week. How exciting! 10k is yours (and that badge 😍) 👍

Didn’t she do well? I think Oldgirlruns only held back because she told me the night before that she would only do 9. She knows I want to be there for 10. I will shake my pom-poms next week for sure.

Brilliant stuff OGR, never thought of running the plan in a different sequence 🤯 Sometimes I am remarkably slow on the uptake. Anyway, look forward to seeing you crack it keeps me driving on behind you. 👍
