A surprise PB today and a welcome rest before I tackle w9r1 on Monday.

My watch brought up the 5k (including warm up and cool down) so I'm pleased with that but I've still a long way to go pace wise to get close to 5k in 30 mins. I think I'm at peace with that.

I'm most pleased to have kept this up over my 2 weeks holiday. The family have still kept me active on my rest days which is understandable and yesterday saw us take in 20k steps up to Aber Falls. Worth the walk for the view but my legs felt each and ever one of those steps today.

3 runs to go. Never thought I'd actually make it this far....

Well done. I’ve just completed finished week 9 and never thought all those weeks ago I’d be able to run for a solid 30 mins. Shows how good this plan is.
