One run to go!

My next run after a rest day will be my graduation run w9r3. I honestly never thought I would get to run lengths like I am now. I couldn't even finish w1r1 on my first try. This course Is fantastic and the ability of the body to build up stamina astounds me. If you're struggling or disheartened believe me, if I can do it you can; and I now love running. I ran for half an hour around cardiff castle and along the River Taff with the sun shining and grinning all the way today. If you're finding it tough, ease up on the pace, go easy on yourself, go back a step or repeat if you need to but whatever you do keep on going. You've got it in you to amaze yourself just like I have myself. You can do it! :) x

I hope so! I nearly gave up after feeling like i was going to die on my first run but then I found this forum and others saying they had felt the same and offering the same advice; slow down, persevere....so if I can do the same and pass on the baton myself then great!
