Finished! or have I just begun?

Yesterday I did it- run three of week nine -much to my amazement(that's the me of 10 weeks ago) Thanks Laura for being with me over the journey. Thanks even for those annoying tracks which I keep finding in my head even though they did keep me jogging at a decent rate(I've had enough of you and Julie).Curiously I found the last week harder. It may be because I found a local route that is actually 5K but it involves going round the route twice. Previously I've just run till Laura tells me I'm halfway and turn back. I wonder if its harder to do repetitious routes

I adapted week nine a little to keep going to get a 5K time -run one 31.30-run two 30.30 and run three 29.30! I really wondered on the last one if I'd pushed it too hard but managed to hang on. Now going to scour the blogs for what now.

Its not the end, its not even the beginning of the end, it is merely the end of the beginning!

Or something like that :-D
