Virus has meant Week 8 spread over 10 days

Fighting a virus I realised after W8r1 lat Tuesday that I needed to rest until I was feeling better. That took all weekend and so I’ve only just managed to do W8r2 this morning.

It was ok, not easy but not too hard. I’ll finish W8r3 on Friday and let myself rest again at the weekend. Then I’ll be all set for W9 and my first Parkrun next Saturday 🤞🏼

Great job... great decisions.. great running. Viruses take it out of us, and we are still fighting them after the symptoms go. You got this... you’re back on it now and approaching your victory lap.. enjoy closing this plan out.

It happens to us all I have had a coughy thing for 3 weeks so my running has taken a back seat.

It takes lots of us more than 9 weeks to finish the program. Good luck with graduation runs.
