Can't believe I am at this stage and although I'm not finding it that easy, it's definitely not that hard โ˜บ๏ธEspecially at the pace I chug along too! ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ. Busy week ahead but fingers crossed I'll successfully squeeze in R2 and R3!

Well done! Nearly there...Iโ€™ve lost a week due to a sore back but did wk8 run 1 today and quite enjoyed pootling along slowly. Canโ€™t believe I can run for 28 minutes. Once Iโ€™ve achieved 30 minutes Iโ€™m hoping I can speed up a bit!

Well done, mergirl; just 2 left! Easier said than done but donโ€™t stress too much if you canโ€™t fit in R2/3 this calendar week. Weโ€™re so close now. Love the blue skies ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

Off to Brisbane at the crack of dawn for 3days work then flying to Sydney Friday afternoon to spend the weekend with my grandkids, the oldest has just turned 6 and I've promised to take him shopping for his first real bike! Fly home to the Sunshine Coast on Monday afternoon.

Oh well done!!!! Did it feel much diff to your W8 runs? That last 5 mins of 28 mins seemed to go on forever! Hopefully I will manage to do my W9R1 this week too. Have a lovely holiday x

Thank you! Good luck, all I can say is run somewhere nice but not too challenging. Listen to music and keep your breathing under control. And think about something else!

Well done! Youโ€™re leading us in the final week of runs!

The weather always seems brighter first thing, shame work gets in the way of my running.

yes, Iโ€™m lucky. Working part time definitely makes it easier! Wonderful to imagine us all working together towards the finish line from all over! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ
