I'm planning on repeating week 9 for three weeks but varying my route a little (might go the opposite direction on the cycle path! πŸ˜‚) as I've read it takes 12 weeks to form a habit? I think I'd like to start participating in the local park run but I am a tutor and have a student on Saturday mornings until mid May so that will need to wait a while!

What about you?

That is a proper plan. Not sure yet. There is a local Park run my daughter coming home for Easter so plan to do that. I will carry on running on the promenade and see where it takes me good luck πŸ‘
