Wasn't looking forward to this run today as knew what was ahead of me and my muscles.wete a bit tight from Saturday. But I got up and got out and even though it was damp and foggy I have completed run 2.

Does anyone else kind of hit a block after run 6?? I kept going and maintained my speed.

Roll on Wednesday and run 3 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Well done for today. I found it does get tough the longer on to the session but focus on something else - I normally sing along to the songs on my play list in my head and that helps me to โ€˜forgetโ€™ that Iโ€™m running.

Have a great Monday!

I had to laugh Sia's "I've got Stamina" came on my play list and then "I'm still breathing" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Ha ha! Songs like that seem to just naturally come on when you need them. I was struggling today and randomly Destinyโ€™s Child โ€˜survivorโ€™ came on. Felt like running with my hand in the air claiming I can do this! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Of course, you're ON your way! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Itโ€™s tough on the early runs because your bod wonders whatโ€™s hit it and also I found I tended to work up towards the countdown - only 2 to go etc. But in time it improves and one day you will look back at this post and giggle.

Must admit my lungs were screaming at me today, so onwards and upwards. Next run is Wednesday, then two days rest as working and start week 2 on Saturday !!
