It's exciting isn't it? You KNOW you're going to do it, the light is at the end of the tunnel. And it sounds like you've got great encouragement too. Good luck for next week. :)

Fantastic - love the imagery btw and can't wait to see your name with your graduate badge three runs from now.

And for those of you at other stages of the journey - look where you'll be too in just a few short weeks.

Well done sonicsplodge - I did W8 r1 today, the end is sight and if you had asked me 3 months ago (yes I know, I took a bit longer than 8 weeks to get here!) I would NEVER have believed I could run 28 mins without stopping. But there you go.

Hope your wife is enjoying the exercise too :-)

I keep flogging my the reason for doing this and we all have a reason...and with that reason/goal in mind I WILL finish this..and then its onto 5k+ whatever that may be?? :-)
