Morning everyone.

After checking out a lot of posts for the above run, I was inspired and keen to go.

So this morning I completed this milestone and feel fantastic. Thanks for all the hints and tips.

To be fair the conditions this morning were perfect for running, lovely and cool after the heat.

I am lucky to have a big park to run in so took my dog for moral support. She is young and active and I was encouraged by her youthful vitality. ( always speak to your vet about your dogs suitability for running).

Anyway, I found the 20 mins went quickly, and I loved hearing the half way bell, that spurred me on. It wasnโ€™t a fast run and it wasnโ€™t a pretty run but it was my run and I LOVED it

So if you are at this week and this run I encourage you to have faith and enjoy, you will feel fabulous afterwards.

Good Luck and enjoy.

Yay! Another one with the W5R3 high! Well done!!

Isnโ€™t it a great feeling? ๐Ÿ˜€ I also run with my dog as I too run in a lovely inner city parkland. I keep her on the lead now Iโ€™m doing longer runs, that way I can concentrate and not worry about her zipping off for a long sniff somewhere. I donโ€™t go fast - she barely breaks into a trot - and I run early so itโ€™s not too hot for her.

Have fun with W6. R1 is pesky. Donโ€™t be tempted to go too fast, even though it looks easy!

Have fun out there! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜€โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Our 2 year old lab is my running buddy - she loves coming with me and goes bananas when she sees me getting my running shoes out! Enjoy!

Itโ€™s the best. My 2 labs are too old and my JRT boy has to stop and widdle on everything, so my crossbreed girl is my partner of choice. I talk to her, and encourage her when the going gets tough. Yeah itโ€™s really me Iโ€™m reassuring! Haha. I feel safe with her too. Highly recommend it. ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿคฉ
