I never thought I would survive past w1r1 - hubby thought I would soon give up. My kids laughed at me.

well done.... congratulations....

but MY calculation went.. 9 wks @ 3 runs = 27 runs...

Half of 27 = 13

13 divided by 3 = 4 (and a bit)

so by MY calculation... by wk 4 r 2 you were half way...

WAY past that now!!!so even more congratulations!!

ps , sorry its the Scientist in me...

Fantastic! You will be even happier after Sunday's run that's for certain. If you didn't already believe you can do it, after wk5r3 there really is nothing to stop you. go for it!

Fantastic!! Go for it Pen. There's nothing like a bit of family doubt to spur us on to success. Enjoy w5r3, it really is the best run of the whole programme and the sense of achievement at the end is immense! :)

well done and keep on surprising them and make them proud!!,

think my hubby is surprised too, although the other day he did say "your legs are looking better than they were" still don't know if this was a compliment or not lol

Thanks guys!! I really am so excited about tomorrow. Going to try a completely new route as I find that helps me not realise how long I have left.

Now just to go do a 19 mile walk today!!

Ahhh, good on you. That's the spirit. I had the same issue with my loved ones, as an elderly retiree, so I understand your fighting spirit. Teach them a lesson by showing them what you are made of. 😀
