Well done to you. I think this run gives you such a huge mental boost and really makes you see how far you've come already and let's you see how far you really can go. Take a big pat on the back as you deserve it. Feel the love!!

You did the infamous W5R3? Congratulations!! I remember that one, all the self-doubt before, and the sheer elation when I finished it, think of how you felt back in week 1. What you've acheived is flippin' amazing! Give yourself a huge pat on the back and have a cuppa :) We're all very proud of you!

Omg yes I doubted myself as soon as I knew how long I had to keep going halfway through I wanted once again to kill Laura then I had a thought of oh maybe I can do this!! Woohoo I’m well chuffed and I smiled all the way back to the car and people passing must have thought I was a lunatic! 😊

in reply to

Yeah - I must be a loonatic too then :) You should have seen my smile on completing Week 7, it would hardly fit through the door :)

Keep at it, you'll be on that podium soon enough!

I think our running gives us a challenge on each journey, but also, it's a good mental journey too. How we think, affects how we behave in life and we can apply this to anything. You have proved it exactly here in your run. Keep going, you're doing fabulassssssss lovely 😊
