Well done Erica. This plan is teaching me I can do anything if I put my mind to it and I am on to W6 R1 tonight. Very nervous as with all runs but I am determined. Keep going, you got this xx

You can do it! I doubted myself but I did it today too. It's the mind battle you need to win. Physically you are ready! Go for it!
