One to go!

Completed W9 R2 last night in the wind and slight rain, though fortunately it seemed to stay behind me most of the time so wasn't a major problem. I did struggle with a pain at the back of my lower left leg during the first 10 mins, which I've never had before, but that eased once l'd found some grass verge to run on. Still all these things are there to overcome during this journey, the destination of which is very much now in sight. Graduation tomorrow? I hope so. For those with a bit further to travel keep battling on, you'll get there

Brilliant - well done for keeping going despite the leg pain! I had something like that early on and it turned into an achilles problem after a while. I tried the calf strengthening exercises which cleared it up really quickly. All the best for the final run tomorrow.

Thank you JeanneMary. If that pain returns I will look at strengthen the calfs!!

Wow impressed with the progress...are you not having rest days in between. Take care to repair and grab an alternative activity if you need some action. Fingers crossed for happy graduation. 🏃‍♀️👣
