W9R3 complete!! Can't believe I've done It!!

Decided to run this morning instead of my usual evening run as it's so warm later in the day. Already a scorcher and I feel like a sweaty minger again now, but yay!!!! I've actually graduated 😊😊

Been off work a few weeks now with depression and anxiety, this has given me such a boost while I feel like I'm failing at everything else. Thanks so much for your support and advice on here, what a fab friendly forum.

Ooh good luck with your upcoming final run......of the program that is! It feels amazing to have done it. I feel like a school kid again, used to love running when at school, then left and only ran if I was late for the train or somat!
