Fuelled by Gin & 4 hrs sleep

Out on the tiles with work last night, only had 3 drinks but woke up at 4 this morning dehydrated and that was it, mind whirling with everything I had to do today as it's the last day of term and the thought that I had Run 3 of week 5 to complete. Felt totally intimidated at the start of the run but Imagine Dragons, On Top of the World kicked in and I knew I was going to do it. Music is such a good motivator!! Felt very emotional after running for 20 mins, anybody would've thought I'd just completed a marathon 😁🙌👊🏃I think I might deserve some new running shoes now I've actually done a 'proper' run.

Well done!

I remember that run very well. Nothing beats that feeling of accomplishment and pride.

Thanks, it is just getting over that mental blockade of a non-stop run.
