Week 8 completed :)

I had to have a few days break before completing week 8 - we've been doing a bit of rearranging the house and I spent a few days building bunk beds, dismantling, moving and reassembling two giant Ikea PAX wardrobes and moving approximately 2.7million toys up to the new playroom. Somehow, during all this, I strained a hamstring. Nothing serious but I didn't want to run on it.

So, yesterday, after 3 days of looking after my leg I decided all was well, I took it easy for run 3, covered exactly 4km in the 28 minutes and finished feeling great - week 9 here I come :)

Well done Rolyat - you must almost be able to see that Graduation badge twinkling in the distance now! Btw - very sensible to wait for the hamstring to settle.

Not what you're looking for?
