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!

Thatโ€™s brilliant, well done! Iโ€™m at same point as you but feeling really nervous about W9R3 tomorrow. I know itโ€™s stupid, as Iโ€™ve sweated and plodded very happily through the programme so far. Itโ€™s great knowing thereโ€™s a bunch of us at the same stage. Best of luck for Saturday and hopefully thereโ€™ll be a bunch of us with big proud heads on us as we head for the graduation line ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป
