This afternoon I did my graduation run and now I'm a bit stiff but doesn't matter because I am floating on a cloud⛅ I cheated Laura and didn't start podcast till I had finished my warm up walk. That way I was always 5 minutes ahead of Laura and knew I could stop when she said there were 5 mins left. That kept the gremlins at bay and in the end I kept going and ran 35 minutes! 😊😊

Now that's exactly the kind of 'cheating' that confuses the gremlins. I love it and will be pinching your idea when I finally get to week 9 (a way to go yet). Congratulations on graduating, must be an awesome feeling and deservedly so. Hope to join you on cloud 9 in a few weeks!
