Hi all

So this morning I have run for 20 mins non stop, never thought it could happen!

So chuffed, was a bit tough I won't lie, but our route finished on a hill and still did it. As Michael Johnson said to me, it's mind over matter and it certainly was. I am now actually believing I will finish this whole thing and am enjoying the challenge each run brings. I can and I will.

Happy running all. πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Congratulations! I know that feeling well. Such a huge sense of achievement when I did that run, really believing that I wouldn’t be able to!

That 20 min run was scary when I first saw it. The determination to finish is amazing! Keep it up and well done.
