W9R2 (take 2) - finished (but it wasn't easy)

Phew, almost there! I had a false start very early this morning. After 4 hours of sleep courtesy of my toddler, I figured I had better get my behind out the door early or I might not make it today. I was ready and almost out when my plan was thwarted (again by my little one) - finally headed out the door but after about 400m I had to turn back... I will spare you all the details but lets just say my little one needed his mummy and i couldn't run knowing that.

Went out again mid-morning (I work from home so can do this!) and although it wasn't pretty, it is done!

Reading the blogs on this site really give me the encouragement that I need to keep going - there are so many people graduating this week that I feel if I stop I won't graduate with "my class!" Thank you everyone!

Go you! You got there in the end and that's the main thing. Keep going and one day this will be easy! When are you going out on your graduation run? I'm doing mine on Sunday - so excited!

Hi Pelephant, just posted on your blog! I think that I am running Saturday morning (that way if something happens I can run on Sunday as my back up). Looking forward to hearing about your final run!
