Week 8 ✅

Well I’ve done it. I cannot tell you how much I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning- my last run was on Tuesday and I felt I had lost my mojo. But I had a word with myself; if I didn’t get up today and run the last several weeks would have been wasted.

So I put my big girl pants on ( and my running gear so I didn’t shock the neighbours!) and got my final run of week 8 done. So chuffed and proud of myself.

I know the next three runs are only an extra two mins so I know I’ve just got to keep my head in the game. I really believe 90% of this challenge is mental strength and resilience.

So here goes guys.... into week nine in a couple of days.

Well done. You will never regret getting out there. But you will regret lolling about in bed.

You seem to have caught the running bug Jan 🏃🏾‍♀️😊👍

I wouldn’t go that far. I’m still not at a point where I enjoy running. I’m just very stubborn and am determined not to give up on this challenge!

Well done Jan. I’ve just done the same run. Still very hard- although truthfully it’s about the last five mins that are really tough so we’ve really come a long way. Roll on wk 9- good luck with your runs x
