W8R2 done at last!

After 14days of flu & hacking cough I ran & ran. Heeded everyone’s advice & started real slow. This was all about consistency of pace & breathing not about PB. Loved it, loved it. So good to be back. Only one major coughing fit but ran through it. Feeling great & looking forward to completing Week8 on Monday. 😊👍

It's great you are back running, you only have 4 runs left before you graduate, keep it up and well done for completing week 8 run 2 after being ill.

Being ill is horrid, glad you enjoyed your run and one patch of coughing is a good improvement

Thanks WillowandSola. Glad to be on the mend. Big relief to pick up where I left off.

Yes our fitness stays if we need to take a break and doesn’t just disappear but it’s nice to confirm it
