After getting too confident and posting a couple of months ago that I was about to finish, I have now finally finished!

After run 1 wk 9 my sore knee became intolerable so I stopped for a week and went back to week 6...did a few more weeks, then had to stop properly for physio for a couple of weeks... and then went back and started week 4!!

What started on the 14th April as a 9 week thing... became 20 weeks!

But... it’s done... and now I can plan what’s next!
