Yippee finished week 9!

So, I've done it! Did my final 30 minute run today - I think I've taken about 11 weeks as I repeated a week (2 or 3) fairly near the beginning and almost gave in to self sabotage last week when I did two of the runs but kept putting off the last one....- I realised what I was doing though and started week 9 again on Wednesday - why would I do that to myself? Just give up right at the very end? Literally the last run to do....who knows? Anyhow I did Weds, Friday and today and that's it! I did it and proved to myself that the physical side was easier than the mental side for sure - going to bed now to read up on what comes next..hope you've all had a good, if quiet Easter!
