Wk 9 day 1

It has finally arrived, the last week of the program; did I think I would make it this far? Nope, did I breeze through it this morning? No I certainly didn't and I hit the wall at 20 minutes but I kept on running, putting one foot in front of the other and then it was 25 minutes gone. "Come on" I said to myself, only 5 minutes left "you can do it" and do you know what? I blinking well did! How do I feel? Absolutely fanblinkingtastic that's how (photo below) I can't believe that I can now run for 30 minutes non stop. For those starting out on this program I would say, have faith in the program, stick with it & just keep on running because if I can do it, anyone can :)
