W8D3 take 2 - look, Ma, no falls!

Although I got through about 25 minutes of the last day of week 8 on Saturday, I felt like I owed it to myself to repeat it. So I did. I didn't trip this time. I even ran the same footpath where I tripped on Saturday and I didn't trip. No aches and pains, and I'm back! Yaayyyy.

Onto week 9! I cant believe that in just THREE runs I will complete C25K. Just three runs. I'm onto the LAST WEEK of the program! Whaaaaaat. I can't believe it. I really can't. How did this happen so quickly?!

Happy running 😊

It's not too bruised! Could definitely be worse. I'm glad I'm able to run because I was worried I wouldn't be able to but I feel fine!

I'm so excited to start week 9 πŸ’ͺ

Good luck! Week 8 does get easier as you progress through it and you'll love being able to run 28 minutes. You're so close to the finish! πŸ™‚

Thank you! It definitely can be scary and the outcome could have been a lot worse than it was so I am very lucky to walk away with just a few scrapes 😊
