Well when you lose Oldfloss from your thoughts you think you can speed up and that was a rookie mistake as it nearly cost me the run. Breathing was shocking. Started the run just thinking I will up the pace a bit..oops wrong answer. Back to slow and steady for the graduation run on Thursday night. Lesson learnt Oldfloss :)

Good. Due to do W8R3 this morning but stuck at work until gone 9pm and back in early this morning, so it should happen tomorrow.

Then it’s week 9 😱🤣

Well done you! I find the forum mantras ring in my ears too! I never managed to have Laura so the mantras see me through. I am hoping to run W9R2 tomorrow. If you linger on the podium I may be able to meet you there. As you can tell, I've really entered into this forum and virtual podium world. Well done again and all the best for your graduation run.
