Well done Pat , just shows what we are capable of when we put our minds to it ...

Great news that you are back on track - w5r3 is a real milestone!

I really feel for you with the shoulder injury. I had the injection a couple of months ago, two and a half years after the original injury, and the improvement has been amazing. So good luck with yours and here's hoping you will feel better soon.

Well done. Week 5 run 3 is where it all starts to feel achievable. I am with you about the wind & rain. I cried off on Monday due to the weather. :)

Pat - you really are an inspiration - to this 68 YO!! :) I am really pleased that I started this running thingie 12 months ago - after never being able to run all my previous life. My "plan" is now to run until I no longer can ( whenever that may be) . You have almost 10 years on me - and I want to be like you!! :)
