Unfortunately Iโ€™ve had to take a couple of extra rest days before starting week 8, work has been horrendously busy, and, my poor wife has torn her meniscus (been in A&E since 6 this morning) I honestly thought Iโ€™d enjoy the extra rest day but Iโ€™m chomping at the bit with graduation hopefully in sight!!! What on earth has this running malarkey done to me!! ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿคช๐Ÿค˜

So sorry to hear your wife has been to hospital, hope sheโ€™s doing ok? Even more sorry you had to take ANOTHER rest day?!?! ๐Ÿ˜œ I joke, the next run will be all the more sweeter once you get out there! Hope the Mrs is in the mend ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Thanks Tee, sheโ€™s in a lot of pain but I think she quite likes being waited on hand and foot ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ it will be nice to get on with the next run though ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿคช๐Ÿค˜

Sorry to hear about Mrs Richlfb, hope sheโ€™s on the mend. Iโ€™ve also been forced to take extra rest days due to having the removal men deliver my furniture and boxes this week. Should have done week 8 run 3 on Wednesday but Iโ€™m heading out this morning to do it at Parkrun instead. Hope you get back out there soon.
