W8 R1- Completed

Just a little note say W8R1 done today, and enjoyed it! Would have run for longer but the last part was downhill and my knees were screaming at me so decided to be sensible and walk down.

Still love this programme and the site, think it's fab!

Good going, Dansmum....and smart running on your part. Don't mess with your knees (she says wryly), you need them to run.

Enjoy!

Thanks Grammadog, yes did think it best to listen to them. They are a pain but as you say, I really need them!

By the way, enjoyed your blog that you put the link up to, love reading about other people's experiences.
