Naughty on W8

I know I shouldn't have, but after feeling so good following W8 R1 yesterday, I decided to have an off-plan run today. 5k in 37.15. I ran 5k! Back to the plan to the finish now, but I know I can do it, because I've done it. On W1, I wanted to jack it in after about 3 minutes - it's so worth the effort to keep going. Now to go and tell myself off

No scolding required! I think it's a great idea, if you feel up to it, to sneak a 5k.

It is SUCH a confidence booster when you reach it :)

Awesome time, well done :)

Thank you! :) I figured that I know my body and my limits better than anyone else, and I really wanted to run today! I can't believe I said that

🙊👽🏃- alien words out our mouths at first but you'll find yourself saying and feeling it more and more :) Whoever thought back on the first run that you would WANT to do it!!

Mental attitude is SO much of the battle.
