After two failed attempts at W2R2 since the 6th and hurting my back slipping on the ice in the second attempt I can finally say I did W2R2!! Finally! Only 21 more runs to go before I'm thru this challenge and running for the fun of it!!

Oh that's wonderful!

Don't get despondent with it taking longer than 9 weeks. I started in May and didn't finish till about October because of tripping over something and various family problems, but like so many, many people, I got there in the end and you will too! The benefits that you will reap will really surprise you.

Well done. I took 2 years - well I started 2 years ago and then stopped! Then started again and finished in January. Go you.

In the scheme of things, 9 weeks, 12 weeks 20 weeks, what does it matter, just get out as often as you can and you are improving your health each time. Keep running, keep smiling.

I fell off a ladder and hurt my back on week 2 and was really gutted. You dust yourself off and get back to the programme though don't you as it's great.

Only think about the run you're on, not the 20th or 21st. The run you're on is the one that counts. Happy running
