So....i did it week 8 run 1....28 mins!!!...still sloth like running but I discovered running in the opposite direction as the proper runners makes being well and truly lapped less obvious😂......and they tend to give u a knowing look...like seriously love are u gonna start running soon.!!!....but I don't care!....my 3 kids form a cheer leader squad every time I passed the park god love them...and my 10year old tells me he's proud of me😂...roll reversal!....Flies?.....well I just pretend they're chocolate 🤣🤣🤣
