W7R1 The Nemesis Run 😈

This was the last run I completed in my first attempt at C25K before I ended up on the IC with Achilles Tendinitus, so I’m super happy to have completed it again today. Fingers crossed tendon stays stable enough to carry on - still seeing physio and following his advice, so currently sitting with an ice pack on.

It’ll be nice to be able to press the button for the next new run, instead of having to scroll back!

Happy running folks 😁

I’m going through the same thing with W6R3. That’s where I got to last time and it’s coming up soon. Strangely nervous about it. Glad you beat your nemesis!

That's so brilliant Wenderwoo πŸ₯. A real hurdle overcome and it seems your ice and physio are doing the job πŸ€—πŸ‘πŸ˜„. I'm still on the couch with my poor ribs, so you may well still be graduating before me too (not that it's a race, or anything)!! Think I may have to go back a few weeks to be comfortable, but am desperate to be out jogging again πŸ˜₯. Well done you. πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Thanks! I had to watch runners go on and graduate whilst I was on the IC, and it’s frustrating. But I enjoyed cheering them on, and they and many others are giving me support now.....it’s like one huge running team πŸ‘πŸ˜

Yippee! Wenderwoo is back! Well done Wenderwoo, I bet you are (justifiably) chuffed to bits. Great to know you're back out there and great to know you're smashed your nemesis run. Test it well now (with the ice pack) and then when you feel up to it you can go out and smash W7 R2. You will let us know how you get on won't you?

Thanks Alast! A couple of days rest, as per physio advice, and then R2 hopefully......and maybe a bit of yoga in between πŸ™πŸΌ Namaste 😁

Woohoo, that is really great news! I'm very happy for you. :-) You are back where you were, and stronger than before. I haven't posted in a while, feeling rather stressed out lately, and haven't run as much as I would have liked (only 6 runs since graduation), but I have followed your progress and, as usual, admire your determination. Well done you! πŸ‘

I’m so glad you reached this milestone today Wenderwoo. My nemesis run is w9r1 so a few weeks away yet. You are doing brilliantly. Keep it up! 😊

Brilliant news! Well done Wenderwoo, that must feel great to know all your patience and determination with the injury has paid off.

You're on the home straight now, uncharted territory but I'm sure you'll smash it, I reckon you deserve a "Graduate-plus" badge when you get there. πŸ‘

No Parkrun this week then? I'm just having breakfast before heading out. πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Enjoy the next few runs and keep posting. πŸ‘

I think I’m going to leave the Parkrun’s until after I (hopefully) graduate!
