Week 8 run 2

Feeling great about today's run because I managed to keep a really steady pace through the whole 28 mins despite the mental gremlins setting in within the first 10 mins and sitting on my shoulder until about the last 8 when I knew for sure that I would beat them. Not my most comfortable run mentally, but one of my best in terms of showing just how important mind over matter can be - oh and of course a good playlist to keep pushing me along. I cant believe how far I have come in such a relatively short time on this programme and have been amazed to discover that I can run, and not only that but I can run for longer than I would ever have believed possible just 7 short weeks ago. The finish line is in site but I can see now that it is really only the beginning......
