Week 8 complete.

Today I did W8R3 and wasn’t really in the mood for it but I started off really slowly and suddenly felt great and completed it with ease. I now have 3 runs left to complete the programme. I am a 68 yo man and so chuffed with my progress.

Once W9R3 is done I will be heading to Hospital next Friday for major surgery so I just wanted to get this done before I went in.
