I wanna shoo-oooo-ooooo-t the whole day down down down, shoot it all down!

Yes, Sir Bob, I’m talking to you!

Today was a day of irritants - no one committed, no one agreed, no one delivered, no one would answer an email until I chased them.... and so it goes on...... but!

It’s run day - W9R2.... just two more runs to go. Home, change (daughter to bed) and out to my new running squeeeze @ Danish Camp, a circular route in woods and along a river......... and loads of bugs in a balmy 25 degrees.

Off I trot, again I walked without starting Strava and only started it when I ran.

As you will see in the photos my pace was actually slower tonight, and I went 0.2km less than R1..... do I care? Not really.... I just ran for 30 minutes! Again!!!

So what that I got over taken by a couple of gansta snails...... I (only) have one final run left, I’ll get em on Wednesday in MY FINAL RUN

Yay! I had a riverbank full of bugs too - and was slow, but I don’t care either - bring on Wednesday - we can run through the tape together

Wooohooo! I saw your post s short while ago! Look at us..... getting there one step at a time!

My run will be around the same time, so I’ll be setting off around 8.30pm maybe slightly later for maximum coolness!

That’s great LL! Sounds like the run went safely and surely! Makes up for a naff day at work.

Your pace wasn’t slow! And it was really hot. Cruising to the finish!

Roll on Wednesday!

Good luck (but you won’t need it) 😀

You are doing so well! And remember, a slower pace is much safer in this heat, as your body has to work much harder when it’s hot. Plenty of time to work on pace once you have graduated, and later in the year when it’s cooler. Running is for life, not just C25K, right? 😁

Looking forward to your graduation! 👏👏👏😘

Thx Sadie. Slower wasn’t intentional, I just don’t think I can go faster in this heat! It felt exactly the same to me as R1! Lol

Bring on Wednesday!🏃‍♂️
