Week 8 conquered!!

Just back from W8 R3... much better than runs 1 and 2 earlier this week. I even caught up with and OVERTOOK a dog walker! Followed it with a 40 second sprint to my finish line - was all I could do not to throw my arms up in the air in a triumphant crashing through the tape celebration!

Can't believe I'm on Week 9 on Tuesday. How did this happen? πŸ˜ƒ

Woo hoo, almost there, I did throw my hands up & woop a bit on my final runs, lucky I go out early in the morning really, but alarmed a few dog walkers I think;)
