W8R3 done!

Eight weeks ago I never dreamed I’d get this far! One week left to go! Today’s run was back in the woods...familiar terrain and route (and roots!!). I was so much more comfortable being hidden away from too many skinny runners in the park giving me ‘those’ looks. I’m probably imagining it really but it’s not pleasant.

Today’s run was not the easiest I’ve done but definitely not the hardest. I must be much fitter now because those inclines that looked like mountains two months ago now look like hills!

Two days rest for me now. Then Sunday will be the start of week 9 😃 Come on Sarah-Jane you can do this!!!
