I had to take a couple of extra days off from running due to my 23 yr old son being in hospital with heart probs (still in there) But... he’s in the best place and wanted me to get out there. So this was for him, and so will the final two runs of C25K. ❤️

It really did, thought of him all the way around and thank you. Hope that you’re recovering well? x

I have thanks. Took three rest days, and that obviously worked, as just back in from having completed W8R2! And back is fine! x

Absolutely brilliant! Well done and it’s such a great feeling when you’ve done it 😃

Like you ...I have inspiration from my Mam...she was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia in November..and the signs are becoming more noticeable..she's my best friend so I owe her this...she checks her phone for the screenshot my runs ticked off and it makes her day. Soon as this is over I'm doing a Memory Run for her. Keep going...and best wishes..I start WK 9 Friday..😁🌈🍀

Great job... and it’s great to hear that your son really wanted you to get out there. Here’s wishing him a speedy recovery, and you some nice relaxed runs to close this plan out.
