And it was a good run, I found my rhythm and felt like I could have gone on forever - it was nice after the few bad runs in a row I had

I'll do some consolidation and then start moving on to 10K

Not sure I smashed it but I muddled through, the gremlins tried but failed!

I did run 1, wk 6 yesterday and it was fine but the first that I didn't enjoy and the first that was very much a duty run. Am hoping it was a blip and that tomorrow will be more enjoyable.

I had quite a few blips along the way this time round - managed to get a virus and then a stinking head cold / flu thingy again combined with my allergies I had to spread out my last few runs just so I could breathe :D

I find the duty runs make the good runs feel so much better though - it takes the bad to appreciate the good! This run was the first where I really hit my stride and found my rhythm in all the 9 weeks, but I was so happy yesterday evening, it made the bad runs worth it

That's good to hear! And actually that's one thing I mentioned to my son: pace. I switched around and did a slight uphill to begin with. Since the start of this I have found my gait, rhythm and footfall really easily - maybe from decades old muscle memory. But my pace was uncomfortable yesterday; something just didn't feel right. As you say - this could make tomorrow's the best yet!
