W9R2 - Good run, misty morning, no calf pain!

I was a little apprehensive for this run given that during my last run, I had some left calf pain. Luckily, today's run was free from calf pain, just the usual achy thighs during the last few minutes.

It was very misty this morning and quite eerie but I did see 2 bunnies and enjoyed my run, managing to run slightly further before the halfway mark so I guess I'm improving slowly! One run to graduation now. I can't believe I've got to this point. I'm proud of my body for doing it and proud of my mind for being stubborn enough to make me do it.

BRING ON W9R3! :) :) :)

So close! I love the weeks where all the runs are the same - by the time you get to run 3 you know you can do it which is half the mental challenge!

Just one run to go!

You're so right, backintime ! It's true, by run 3 we know we've done it twice already so it should be a doddle! (Famous last words!!!) 😁

I also really liked just getting a little bit further before the halfway bell.

Enjoy your graduation run!

Loving your attitude! You’re so right - it is a challenge mentally just as much as physically. Sometimes though it is simply mind over matter. Well done for your W9R2 success. I look forward to saying congratulations on your graduation 😊👏🏼
