Wow! W9R2 done today!

I can see that graduation badge glittering on the horizon! Yes, today I completed 30 minutes of non-stop running in the morning mist and actually enjoyed it! The first half of my route is mostly a steady uphill which give me the psychological advantage of am easier 2nd half - but now that I'm running for longer, there's a bit of a hill up at the end. With Laura's voice and some good music in my ears (I can recommend Ob-la-di, Dave Brubeck's Take Five and Uptown Funk) and this forum's positive words in my head, I had the strength and stamina to complete and I knew I could, despite the usual demons! Thank you everyone and I'm really looking forward to the celebrations on Saturday!

That’s brilliant, well done! I’m at same point as you but feeling really nervous about W9R3 tomorrow. I know it’s stupid, as I’ve sweated and plodded very happily through the programme so far. It’s great knowing there’s a bunch of us at the same stage. Best of luck for Saturday and hopefully there’ll be a bunch of us with big proud heads on us as we head for the graduation line 🤞🏻🤞🏻
