Week 7 🙈

Can’t believe I’ve joined the week 7 club!!

I used to look enviously at week 7 messages on here and never believe I’d get there myself.

It just happens if you push yourself mentally. I think I trust my body now to do what it has to but the mental challenge is the key to success for me. Thankyou for the support on here too. 😊

I’m looking enviously at you now 😜

Well done you! I’m one run away from week 7 and looking forward to reaching that milestone. I’m away from home staying with my daughter and grandchildren and consequently everything’s a bit different - diet not so healthy, no dog to walk - but on the plus side there’s a lovely wildlife area to explore. I guess this is a long winded way of saying how much I agree with you that so much of this challenge is in the mind as much as the body.

Thankyou and yes we can do it if we really want to. We’ve just got to WANT it! But reading this forum gives me a reason.

I’m going to Norway on Monday to stay with relatives so my environment will change too. It was my incentive from week one to be running in Norway on week 7/8 and I’m nearly there. It’ll be important to chose my route carefully. No mountains!!! 😜
