Well today was the day for the above run. But I really felt I just wanted to run today without Laura telling me how long I'd done etc. I felt that was all I was really focusing on. So asked hubby to come with me and plan us a route. So off we went and to amazement I have ran 5.11k in just over 42 minutes. I know it's a little slow but I did enjoy it. My husband was fab at keeping me going when my head was saying stop. I'm gonna start week 9 on Monday and complete the last time runs so I get my well deserved badge. And then at the weekend do the 5k again. Still can't believe I ran that far 👍 😆

Well done you! Laura will slap your wrists next week though - 42 minutes of running instead of 28, oof!

Well done Niknok. Hope you are well and truly over the little wobbles you have been experiencing lately.

Well done! Sounds like you should graduate already tbh, but good to work your way through each part of the programme for a sense of completeness I suppose

Thank you. I did feel a bit naughty not having Laura in my ear. But I just felt that I needed to have a change after my last 2 runs. Back to Laura on Monday to start week 9. Might try the app this time so I can have my music on but Laura talk to me. Hopefully this week she won't tell me how long I've ran for as much ☺
