Well here I am on W9. Managed 30mins, OK, I'm no Usain Bolt, but at least I DID IT! Running in Race for Life 5k on Sunday. I aim to run it this year, on previous years I have walked it....so fingers x'd! To anyone out there contemplating this programme, it looks daunting, but if I can do it at 63....you can too! Just keep at it!

Usain Bolt can't run far anyway - a quick sprint and he's all done in! Good luck for Race for Life on Sunday :-) mines in July. And may the distance power of Mo Farrah be with you! ;-) Good luck with completing W9 xx
