WEEK5R3 I DID IT!!!!

Never thought it would happen, especially after my failed attempt last week.... but I did!!

I have found, whilst listening to music, to mouth the lyrics as I jog - I sound crazy, I know - perhaps look even more weird! However this helps me to relax and not concentrate on the run to much! Oddly, it also helps my breathing - go figure!?

Eaaap so happy today!

Well done! Glad I'm not the only weirdo mouthing the words as I run - and sometimes I have been known to add arm movements... I find a new tune to listen to is a great motivator:)

I run with only one earbud in so I can hear myself sing if I get too loud 😂🎶

I can also hear the zombies that are catching up on me!

I'll pop that in my playlist ❤️

I feel amazing!! It's remarkable what a morning jog can do! I always thought it was rubbish talk, when peeps said exercise lifts your mood - the thought of doing the same, put me in a mood! But I get it now 🤣
