Week 8 complete in the wind and rain!

What a day for it but it's done! Had to stop and walk a couple of times for 30 secs max but paused program. Couldn't get a breath with the wind and rain so I'm still claiming it as a victory and in record times for me too! I was aiming to stay as close to the 7km as possible and actually made a couple of 6 minute k ! Silly me never started the program at the start so only realised 10 mins into it. Hapoy running everyone :-) I'm off to contemplate week 9 for Monday :-)

Well done you.......nearly there now :-) I just completed week 8 yesterday, I think I had slightly better weather conditions than you though! Looks like we will be starting week 9 on the same day so all going well should be graduating the same day too.....go us :-) Best of luck with week 9.

I was planning Friday too, but your Santa Dash on Sunday sounds like a really fun way of graduating, I think I would pick that one ;-)
