#SMASHED IT!
I was only aiming to do 6 runs today!
I RAN ALL 8 RUNS!!! I even turned the speed up and SPRINTED the last 30 Seconds of run 8!
WHO IS THIS PERSON??
10 days ago I did my first run and couldn't do more than the first 60 seconds and this morning I just ran for 8 minutes and I LOVED IT.
The shin splints are very painful right now but that will pass, and it's totally cancelled out by this awesome 'light' feeling I've got from completing my first run
For anyone who thinks taking 10 days to do the first run is pretty bad, and to the guy on the treadmill next to me who kept looking at me sideways while I was running: you try running with the weight of an average 10 year old on your back then tell me it's easy!
I'm totally and completely proud of myself and I cannot wait to go again on Monday
