After a rubbish nights sleep, thanks to my cat, I was up early for my long run. It was so nice to be out running in cooler weather!! Felt really comfortable and I could’ve kept going but I kept to the plan. 7.2k in 49 mins. Very happy with that 👍😊

Thanks hun, but definitely not incredible. I’ve found these longer runs are definitely a case of mind over matter! I did a 3.5k and a 4K in the week. I found them just as tough!! I think when you know you’ve got further to run you just do it! I’ve entered a 10k race at the end of August so that’s my aim! How are your post-grad runs going?

Well done, and especially done on a bad nights sleep....

Thanks ju-ju. I felt quite energised despite the lack of sleep. And the thrill of completing the run was just amazing 👍😊

Well done! I’m not sure I can do the longer runs yet so I’m always in awe of people who do! And nice it’s a bit cooler today. 🏃🏃‍♀️💨😊❤️ X

I’m sure you could if you put your mind to it and believe you can do it 👍. It’s definitely mind over matter. I found the 7k almost easier than 3.5k!! And yes, the weather this morning was so cool and just lovely 😊
