W9R2 complete

Hello all, just completed the penultimate run. I did 4.6k, so marginally better than Monday’s 4.4k in 30 minutes. 🙂👍Apparently I ran each kilometre in 19 seconds less according to Strava, so I must be doing something right! 🏃‍♂️

I’d have loved to do 5k but I’ve got something to aim at at the weekend now 😊 I’ll keep at it and see where it leads me.

Aiming for graduation on Saturday if all goes to plan 🤞🍾🥂🎓 and I can see the finishing line 🏁🏆

Take care out there, it’s quite warm this evening ☺️

Well, possibly a cheetah that’s eaten too much tea and is getting on a bit 😊, but thanks for the thought!! Good luck to you with your endeavours.

Thanks, I’m feeling confident now and my Parkrun registration came through today, so I’ll definitely be carrying on running once I’ve graduated 👍

We’ve started up a virtual Parkrun where I work, so we can all register our times and where we run. 🏃‍♂️They tell me it’s not a competition but I know some people will treat it like that 😊. As for me, I’m just happy to be fit enough to take part at the moment!

Thanks Windmill! I’m so close to doing 5K so I’ll keep going on Saturday until I’ve done it, even if I’ve done 30 minutes by then. It’s all about pride now! 😊
