W6R2, what the hel!?!

Had to run this one around 5 this afternoon just as the day had warmed up nicely 😏

I don’t mind runs with walks, as I’ve mentioned before, I like the walky bits 😂

I struggled through the first 10 mins, relieved when the walky bit came.

The 2nd 10 minute run went better and when Jo told me I was half way through I almost had to check my phone to see if I had fast forwarded it by mistake.

Then, I felt the strange but overwhelming need to pick up my speed! What the hell was that?! So I did! Only for around the last 3 minutes but it felt good.

What kind of witchcraft is this?!

Worried, but oddly looking forward to run 3 .... I think 🤔 😬

Great, well done! Also, nice burst of speed in the last 3 minutes, bet that felt good! Onwards and upwards, you will sail through run 3, just go out with a positive mindset and you’ll enjoy it.

You are so right, i do think the right mindset is absolutely crucial. It’s just hard to get over the fear of the run and flip the fear to positivity. But I will definitely give it 100% Thank you 👍
