I was thinking how can I run for 8 minutes when a few weeks ago I was struggling with 90 seconds. But guess what - I smashed it !!

Hopefully I'll be able to say the same on Monday after the 20 minute run 😂😂

Keep going..stay positive think of the next one in five minute chunks (you can do that😊) go steady at the start and you will smash that one too!
