Crickey, can't believe it! Finished week 7 run 3 yesterday, and boy it was tough in the heat, but I plodded on (no speed records going on here!).

Simply cannot fathom that I might be finished at the end of next week.... I literally haven't been this fit in decades - SUCH a happy feeling (and the stone and half lost is pretty good too ;)

Thanks for your support and words of wisdom, I love this place!

Well done, keep going. Don't even think about the speed you're running - that can wait for now. Just focus on running the duration.

Thanks Steve, I'll try not to think about speed, although it is a touch off putting when an 80 year old lady overtakes me.... !
