Week 8 Run 1 in the bag

Never ever ever did I think I’d get to this point.

This running malarkey really is addictive.

Tonight was one of my worst runs and I didn’t really enjoy it at all. But I didn’t give up and I finished it. The feeling after Sarah Millican says goodbye is worth every single bead of sweat.

Cannot wait to graduate 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I've just done the same run. It is hard but so worth that feeling when you achieve it isn't it?

I'm taking at least 2 rest days to ensure I don't get problems with my knee again so if you are going out again Friday I wish you the very best of luck and hope that it is a better run for you.

Slow and steady gets you there... keep on track :)

So close now! I had a couple of runs around the same time which I just didn't enjoy ( kept thinking "why am I doing this??) but keep at it cos that feeling when you graduate is priceless!

You can do this :-)
