Just done the first run of week 9! It was a hard run, my legs were hurting all the way through, but I'm not really surprised because I ran yesterday too. Am definitely going to rest tommorow! On the plus side, I managed to conquer a few hills! Only two more runs to go!

Two runs in a row - naughty naughty ! 😄 Good that you’re going to get a proper rest before the next one: it would be lousy to develop an injury this close to graduation x

Yeah it's safe to say that I won't be running twice in a row again! I had somehow messed up my weekly pattern of running and because I have my driving lesson today (running on the day of my driving lessons make me feel less stressed) I had to run to days in a row to make it work. Lesson learnt hahaha

Driving as well ? You certainly enjoy a challenge ! If you’re stuck in the same situation again, remember you can always do one of the early runs or just take a good walk instead - don’t make it hard on yourself. Much respect though ! 🏅

Thanks, that's good advice! Yeah I've managed to coincide graduating from c5k week with moving house week and I've also accidentally coincided the week of my driving test with my very first official 5K race! Not sure how I managed to do that hahahaha!
