Wk8 run1 tonight and I loved it. 😊

What a difference after the horrible wk7 run3. Tonights was completely different.

Pace and everything was good; all of you were all in my head saying: slow & steady, slow & steady. And it all just felt right πŸ˜€

I knew tonight that I really am going to do this, as when Laura said I was done I knew there was more left in the tank!

Good luck to everyone running this week X

Of course you are going to do it and very soon too. Knowing within yourself that you can will make it that much more enjoyable.

Did w8 r1 this morning and managed 3.5k in the 28 minutes. I am still surprised at the longer run times we seem to be managing now feel chuffed. Hope all is well with youπŸ™‚

Well done!!!

I'm good thank you, due to do wk8 run 2 tomorrow and treated myself to some new trainers today 😬

It's amazing being able to do these longer runs; pretty incredible really as I've never been able to run!!

How tomorrow's goes as well as the last one πŸ‘
