That was tough. Maybe because it was a few degrees warmer than my last few runs. Bit slower than week 8 although maybe more undulations than my previous routes. Did most of the run in the woods as that's a bit cooler. Slightly unconventional running style when I got to the bit with the stinging nettles across the path but managed not to get stung. Don't think I will run that way again until a lot later in the year.
But I did it. The end is in sight. Looking forward to that graduate badge but will miss Laura.
I'm on week 8, and I'm already planning to stay with Laura post-graduation. I downloaded the post-5k run podcasts, and I hope they'll push me on further after the big final run of the programme.
Oh I know what you mean! I needed some darned shears on today's run! Nettles, brambles, hawthorn! This is on the side of the pavement too, not in the woods. Bah
Anyway, well done! Sounds like you have it all going on and have set co-ordinates for week 9! Ooooer it's very close now. You can almost reach out and touch that Graduate badge
It was hot and sticky out there today, so that does slow us up. Well it did me anyway.
Good luck for your final runs of the programme. Enjoy every moment!
