Week 6 run 3 done- Iโ€™m a runner ๐Ÿ˜

Just back from my first 25 Min run and Iโ€™m delighted. I struggled through run 3 of week 5 and didnโ€™t get the high everyone else seemed to get when I finished it. Then had been finding week 6 tough- was beginning to feel deflated and thought maybe running wasnโ€™t for me. However tonight I managed to run for 25 mins and felt good. Donโ€™t get me wrong there were moments that were tough but on the whole I enjoyed it and I am now looking forward and feeling positive about week 7. Was buzzing when Michael said I am now a runner ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

This is so good to hear! I Staggered through w5r3 on Monday and wasnโ€™t sure whether to continue to w6 yesterday but ran much further/faster than ever before so really feeling good now! Hoping 25mins isnโ€™t such a struggle at the end of this week...! ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
