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 😁😁

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 ‘forget’ that I’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" 😂😂

Ha ha! Songs like that seem to just naturally come on when you need them. I was struggling today and randomly Destiny’s Child ‘survivor’ came on. Felt like running with my hand in the air claiming I can do this! 😂

Of course, you're ON your way! 😊

It’s tough on the early runs because your bod wonders what’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.
