Finally got past my nemesis- W3R2

This is my 3rd attempt at this and for a variety of reasons (some trivial, some serious) I have 3 times got as far as W3R1 and never made it to the next run. But today I completed W3R2. I now feel I can go on and do the rest! It was still hard and I was running very slowly but I’m not sitting on the couch.

Thank you. It’s just a small achievement but feels so good.

Not small at all - you achieved something you’ve not been able to before! I reckon that counts as much better than small! Good luck!

That’s just perfection... breaking down the walls that once defined the limits of possible. Welcome to the impossible, you’re gonna love it! You can do the rest of this for sure... when those walls break the mind changes... whatever you think you can do will now be a little easier. Enjoy that next run... it closes out the first third of this plan.

Oh I hadn’t thought about closing out a third! Thanks for that.

You have broken through a barrier today and everything that lies ahead is shiny and new! I am due to run my W3R2 tomorrow, so shall be thinking of your achievements to spur me onwards.
