I've just completed week 9 run 3...YAY me. After such a fab run on Saturday I'd been so looking forward to today's run BUT it was horrible!!!! Made it round but all I kept thinking was 'will it finish soon?'. Anyway, sitting on the couch typing this thinking 2 things 1) I am so proud of myself would never have thought I'd have got this far and 2) better get a wiggle on or will be late for work!!!

Now to think about my treat to myself and planning the next few runs!

Oh that's fantastic you've graduated well done!

It's funny isn't it, when a 'bad' run is over we think of the good things, I know I do :)

You've done brilliantly and are very inspiring :)

Thanks you lovely peeps. I have been smiling :) today and will be going out in the next few days to buy my treat. Am going to be very generous to myslef and why not as I've not wasted money on gym memberhsip, that I don't use, for the last 3 months. Something small & silver from Tiffany's me thinks (they really shouldn't have opened near work!!!!)

Plans for the rest of this week...do 2 x 30 mins and then plan a longer run to try and cover 5k but right now I just want my right shin / calf to stop hurting...it's all achey and very restless. :(

mine would have been longer but between getting up, doing the run and having to leave the house there wasn't time.

Good luck with your final run! I'll be watching for your post :)

Well done!!! How fab to graduate! I am two runs off that point, though I have cheated a bit to get here (skipped a few podcasts) so as to be ready for Sport Relief this weekend. Enjoy your treat(s) - well-deserved!
