Wow! I did it!

After struggling a bit through week 7 I actually managed to run (albeit very slowly) for 28mins.

Mind you, the environs helped 😜 and there was Chris de Burgh singing about “ moving from a spark to a flame” he could just be right.

Feeling positive today👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You ran in the sand on a beach?! Good job! I can't imagine running in the sand at this point!!!

It was very solid and compact.

I can’t even walk on the other stuff!

Slow and steady and relax into these great long runs...:)

PS

if you ran on the beach.. plenty of calf massage and stretching after :)
