W8 โœ… Done. Cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž

R2 was horrible this week. But today was much better. Even after hubby dragged me to the pub last night and plied me with grapefruit gin, then insisted we needed a curry with a bottle of Mateus (sorry but I drink it for old timeโ€™s sake) then ordered coffee with proper cream and after eights! That 70โ€™s revisit should have finished me for today but it must have done the opposite because I had my best run yet.

Iโ€™ve decided my first Park Run, a week today, will be my graduation run too. (Aargh) ๐Ÿ™€Hereโ€™s hoping W9 is ok. Happy Weekend all!

Seriously though, well done - especially after drinking! Glad you enjoyed today's run. Week 9 is easy.

Well done and good luck with graduation plan!! Iโ€™m a ParkRun work in progress as bit worried about it. But my lovely friend has done the course with me as you saw and Iโ€™ve ordered a funky purple barcode wrist band which means I HAVE to get out and use it. Sure Iโ€™ll be good once first one done . Look forward to seeing how yours went. Good luck !!!

Ah, I'm v jealous of the wrist band ๐Ÿ˜Š But, I have laminated my barcode! I do love a bit of lamination in my life. I'm a bit worried about next week if I'm honest, and sad as hubby is still recovering from a torn calf muscle and poorly knee. We were going to do this together, but, it sounds mean, I'm just going to do it anyway. I can then enjoy (hopefully) repeating some weeks with him.

I'm scared of looking stupid or getting in the way or tripping up a proper runner...
