Week 4 Run 1

Well bless my soul I did it!!!! Something happened today. I don’t quite know what but my brain just switched off. I wasn’t thinking about the next bush, the next tree, the next track. I just ran and I can’t quite believe it!!!

I believe that I can be a runner. I think I am already. So much so that I have accepted a 10k Challenge. In a few months on my special birthday I hope to run 10k in my own sweet time to earn donations for a charity I am helping to raise funds for.
