I've been off this forum, but watching closely for the last few months. I last posted after a W9 R3 fail back in May. To cut a long story short, for various reasons I couldn't redo the run, and then wasn't able to run for ages, so was apprehensive getting back out there. But... I did (and have told my kids now that I'm running as it had been my guilty secret).
Clearly I was nervous about starting over, but getting back out the door after a break is nowhere near as bad as getting out the door on W1 R1. Anyway... after starting C25K in January, I've just come back in from my second 30 minute run of the week, and this time I WILL complete W9 on Monday. Look out for that graduation badge!!
