W9 R2...Taking forever!!

Yet another delay in the C25k journey! 3 weeks ago I did w9r1. The heatwave was followed by a chest infection, and just as the weather cooled the back went...again.

So I headed out just looking to get to 20 mins or so...just in time for the heat to turn up again.

Pretty chuffed to get to 30 mins. My knee didn’t blow up, the hips behaved and managed 4K, happy with that. Fingers crossed I’ll do the graduation run on Sunday morning, to finish the longest 9 week course ever!!!

5k event entered next week so all systems go, on with the metal playlist, air drumming and moshing the final run ahoy!

Rocking it.

Long 9 weeks yeah, but you’ve put way more weeks on your life, so it’s taken no time off you at all. One to go til graduation... go smash it.

Aww hon!! I keep wondering where you are and how you've been. Sounds like you've had pretty rotten time of it.

_SimonT_ are right here okay. Sack trucks or anything you need at the ready!!!
