That's all. But as I jog along I think all the time ' Raven, Gludwig, Raven, Gludwig' and I won't stop.

Glad to be of service! Second run of week 7 was a bit easier, and I'm not just saying that to make you feel better. I think the trick here, though, is not to get disheartened. I've felt a bit like I should be finding it much easier than it is, but it's not easy and it's not meant to be. We just have to keep going, and not expect too much too soon. I've tried things like this in the past, and I've felt like I've failed and given up. I'm in this one for the long haul, so slow and steady we go! Onwards!

I suppose we're running such amazing distances compared to that first wk, thanks for your encouragement - hope tomorrow is slightly less dire.

Always great to have forum buddies to inspire you through the tough days and I am sorry to tell you even after graduation there are even more of those! Keep up amazing work nearly there...

Yes, nearly there, can't give up (unless my body does!) - not worth stopping now - but oh so tough. Always worth it 'tho - that's what keeps one going I suppose. And all those buddies.
