Have to pinch myself, can't believe I've made it to week8 ๐Ÿ˜ I knew this would be hard but doable ... what's three more minutes, right? ๐Ÿค”

It was much warmer than I thought & I'm still very snotty ๐Ÿ˜– but apart from the last couple of minutes, I enjoyed being out on the trail. Quickly found a comfortable stride and relaxed, it's great when the music matches your pace๐Ÿ‘ but I didn't need telling twice when it was time to stop.

Once again at the end I feel like I've reached my limited ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธdifference is I now feel confident that I'll be able to step it up when the time comes. This plan really does change the way you look at things

Well done lovely!! I'm getting so far behind. I'm going to do W6 R3 today when it cools down. I'm back at home now though so can get back into a proper routine.

Not long until you graduate now ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š
