W8R2 in the bag

Only four more runs to go!!! Not that I intend to stop running when I've done them.

When I began in November the one minute runs were an effort, then when I had to take six weeks out due to running impact injuries being able to run for thirty minutes seemed an almost impossible target.

Now I can think, the hardest part of week 9 is going to be working how I can add two minutes to the run and finish at my 5 minute walk back home point.

Excellent progress! You gave some really helpful advice when I also had leg injuries early in C25k and gave me the motivation to rest, strengthen and get back out there - so thanks for that and I'm really pleased to see that you've managed to come back stronger and are close to finishing too. I look forward to seeing you cross that graduation line :)
