W8R3 - eek I’ve only got 3 to go

6 Replies

An enthusiastic 65th birthday celebration on Sunday meant I needed an extra rest day before completing the final run of W8, which I did yesterday. I changed my route a bit and think I now have the ideal route (for me and where I live, that is) for the imminent W9.

On the run itself I had a couple of spectators who started cheering me as I went past - although I couldn’t quite make out whether they were calling jack-daw, go-on or give up. It wasn’t really any easier or, thankfully, any harder than the first two W8 runs but that has now convinced me that I will be able to complete W9. I’ll be doing the first run tomorrow morning and am looking forward to it.

Good luck in the final week and I hope you really enjoy it. Happy belated birthday as well, did you get loads of running gear? I did for mine ha!

Look forward to the updates!!

Thanks for the good luck and birthday wishes. No running gear - but a dedication on Johhnie Walker’s Sounds of the Seventies on Radio 2 made my day.

I listened to that programme live whilst driving round the Hope Valley in Derbyshire. There weren't that many birthday dedications. Should I re-listen? 😈😉

Only if you want to - mind you he mis-read my age - knocked 5 years off. I don’t want to have to wait another 6 years for my bus pass!
