W7R2 - Keep running and get those miles in your legs

It’s simple, isn’t it? 5 mins warm up, 25 mins run, 5 mins cool down. 3 simple steps that’s it.

That’s how I started my run today. I knew it was going to be tough but I was ready to do it. Reading so many peoples stories of getting graduate is keeping me motivated to get to my graduation run.

That feeling of sweat starting to flow behind the right ear and then the left ear 😁 I never thought I’ll like it but surprisingly it’s the hard work to get there that makes it feel special.

The run was specially tough today due to 24 C temperature and high humidity. I need to remember how hard it feels to start I just have to go out there and do it.

About 2 weeks away from my graduate run (hopefully). I’m enjoying this.

All the best to fellow W7 runners. Yes we are runner, remember we were officially declared runners 😀👍🏼
