Week 8 finally done!

It's been quite a journey so far with weeks of stops before starting again due to several unforeseen events. So, ran the last run of week 8 this morning after more than a 3 week break - not recommended as I am sure I will not be able to move by this afternoon, but I did it and feel a great sense of achievement and relief that I don't need to go back a few weeks. Bring on W9! Almost there!

Such determination, well done👍. Three weeks is quite a long break, so do take it easy ... no speeding along! If you do feel achy, one extra rest day won't hurt and may make all the difference. Better to get to graduation in one piece, able to run on and consolidate! Good luck, so close now 😊

Thank you! Yes I think I've requested the badge, probably takes some time to appear yes? I am planning to consolidate for a few weeks, then take it from there. Great programme, I've so enjoyed it.
