W9R2 2nd Attempt...........completed!

Well after the last aborted attempt was determined to complete R2 this morning.

It wasn't pretty, in fact it was slow and horrible, but I wasn't going to stop until Millican said so.

Worried at one point as my left arm went numb, but realised my phone strap/holder was way too tight.

I sometimes wish I was a woman, because I find running, breathing and timing impossible to do together, multitasking is just not a male thing.

Onwards and upwards! πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈπŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈπŸ•ΊπŸ•Ί

Multitasking and gender was debunked on Duck Quacks Don’t Echo a few years ago, but let’s keep that quiet and keep our excuse. Ladies, disregard the start of this post. πŸ˜‚

Great job John... just one more run until graduation!

You can do it John! One more and you get the graduation sticker!
