Just checking in. Well that's wk8r3 just done and i'm like a drowned rat as it's bleedin' chucking it down here. I can't believe there's just 3 runs left now and i haven't quit already!! πŸ™‚.

Anyway, when Michael said that i could stop running i did.. and checked my tracker...4.983km in 27:57 (i guess 3 seconds of fumbling to press the start button at the start). Now, distance really isn't that important i just want to finish the program... 5k will come when it comes... but ... 17 metres shy? Really? I'm taking that as 5k and GPS error! 😁

Yeah i know, call me a cheat lol

Anyway.. on to the final week. Happy C25K'ing everyone!

Well done. I hate that 0.xxx difference from some target and what the gps says, don’t you? Very good to remember margin of error and not worry about it! All very speedy anyway, so do follow Oldfloss and relax into the finishing stretch. Don’t want any injuries at this point. πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ˜„πŸ‘ Happy running.

Thanks Granspeed... yep it was annoying but only for a few seconds, as there's always the next run. But will take week 9 slow and enjoy it πŸ™‚

Haha... nah.. i'm sticking rigidly to the program. If Michael says 'run'... i run.. 'climb that tree' ... i'm up there. It is what it is.. i can play about with distance after graduation πŸ‘
