Counting Down!

First run of week 9 done! I still can't quite believe that I'm at this point, running 30 minutes. I feel so proud of myself and got a teeny bit teary at the end.

I mapped the running part and covered 2.54 miles, so hopefully I'm not too far off actually running 5K as well.

Good to hear from you, I was going to message you to see what was up as I have been missing your updates.

Great distance too, you have done so well, nearly there now.

Still been plugging away, but had a 4 day gap between runs. Been busy walking and swimming too :)

Cant wait to graduate :) How are you getting on?

I am doing fine, managed all of my runs on holiday, which meant I was up early and drank less. Which is all good. I was walking loads every day too, once day over 15 miles so my hip started to ache a bit. maybe doing a bit too much for a woman of more mature years :). It's been fine since I came home and just doing my normal walking again.

Got one more run to go. Probably do it on Wednesday morning. So excited and chuffed. Would never ever have thought I would get to this stage. Well done us!

That's fantastic! We did a 5.5 mile walk one day last week which scuppered my planned run, and I did a bootcamp which nearly killed me lol! I was hoping to get my last run done on Saturday morning at my local ParkRun, but it's looking like I'll be at work instead :(

Run two I'll do tomorrow, then it'll be either Friday or the weekend for the big one!! So exciting! I genuinely never believed I'd get this far, not in a million years :)
