Well good morning all! I have just completed W8 so so pleased about that. Wasn't really in the running mood when I woke up,but decided it was a toss up between treadmill or outside in the rainy weather. Anyway I love going outside and where I live as so many of you already know is in the sticks and it is so beautiful,even though hilly! lots of farm tracks etc,so I couldn't stay in!......

Back to work tomorrow and then on Friday I shall start Wk 9.Yippee!

Back is getting so much better.

Well done! You're so close now! Do you have any goals after graduation?

Thank you so much Minimaxi.

Well I've already signed up for 2 sponsored runs both 5k ,one in May and the next one in July. Then I would like to advance onto a 10k.Did my first 5k in 2015 but hadn't done this programme then.After that or even before then I would like to just keep on improving on my running technique,speed, time etc.

However I'm 59 so I shall just keep running and enjoying it for fitness etc and see how long I can keep it up . Hopefully I'll still be running well into my 60s ha!

What have you done since you graduated? 😄😄

Well done peggy59 on your progress. I am still progressing behind you - W8R2 run planned for tomorrow. See you at the graduation party!

in reply to Ched

Yeh! Well done Ched and great to hear from you and great news on your progress! It's a great feeling isn't it?. Still can't believe I've got this far. When I was running before my back trouble I was always knackered. However now I'm not so knackered and I welcome the structure of the programme. It's much better,even managing the inclines better now. Anyway Ched keep going and keep strong and yes see you at the graduation !!😄😄
