W9R2 done...

...but may have overdone it in the last 60s with a high-paced finish as the top of my calf muscle is now grumbling despite 5min warm-down and stretches (old reoccurring problem). I'm thinking I may well have delay my final run by a day or two to make sure I complete the programme on a graduate's high 🍾 rather than finding myself hobbling around and regretting every minute 😡. Just one run of C25K to go really can't believe it! 😀 Going to have to find some more pavements to explore🔎🗺️!!

Thanks. As someone who enjoys walking the dog, a once-a-week football game, and owner of two hyperactive kids (can't forget them), I wasn't coming to c25k completely cold but have been amazed at the fitness improvements made over the weeks. Still not quite conquered a 5k run outside of the walking periods but v.nearly there and looking forward to a parkrun soon!
