Post-graduation run - staying positive!

I had to prove that last week's run wasn't a fluke but will admit that it was harder to motivate myself this morning. I ended up running for over half an hour and found it liberating to decide when to stop, rather than waiting to be told. After all, it's supposed to be enjoyable!

For anyone needing a boost, please do listen to the interview with 105-year old Diana on this morning's Woman's Hour - she is an absolute inspiration and has a wonderfully positive attitude - one that I certainly can learn from and try to adopt.

Happy running everyone 😊
