W4 R1- I won't lie, it was hard but did it, so can you

So got up and went. First time I knew what to expect and I have to say: not a good idea for me. I was thinking before I went that maybe it's too hard. But I went and did it. I noticed that the first and last runs in the broadcast are the most difficult for me. First probably because I am not walking fast enough in warm up and last because I am tired. It was a difficult run in windy condition but I did it. I am knackered but happy. And as I said before, if I can do it, you can...in snail speed:) I would like to thank you all for support. My fiancé is fed up with me talking about my runs, he supports me all the time but I think he just doesn't want to hear about it all the time:) my friends think I am obsessed, I think some of them are jealous that I am so stubborn:) well, we all can do it :)

Slow and steady is the only way I'm getting through. Well done!

Tomorrow for me, and it's only the thought of wearing my new shoes that is motivating me at the moment - it sounds a bit daunting! But now I have the shoes I have to keep going, otherwise it's money wasted ;-)

I did it! And not as hard as I thought. I'm sure the magic shoes helped 😁

I went for run 2 today and the wind is mental. I didn't know you can run and stand at the same time. But at the end of the run I had speed of lightening, cause the wind was pushing me :) plus got running stuff from lidl. I went for the black leggings:)
