So.... oddly I’ve been looking forward to today 😳

I actually feel like I’m now a runner πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Yes it was β€˜only’ 20 minuets but it feels so good 😊 and I didn’t stop or die trying πŸ€£πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ’ͺ🏻

When I started the training I expected to be bored/fed up/ too lazy to continue by week 4 as that is how long I usually manage to stick with something difficult, always looking for a quick fix/ easy option and I have never liked running.... β€˜it’s not my thing’, but this program has changed me 😱 I actually look forward to my next run! πŸ˜±πŸ™Š This is partly due to lovely Sarah, πŸ’•I can’t wait to hear what she is going to say next 😁 her encouragement and praise has kept me going.... as have you lovely lot!

Week 6, #bringitimready!

So was I 😁 I dread every run, until today, but it was fine... and then I ran for 5 whole minutes πŸ™ŠπŸ™ˆπŸ˜± I was amazed! Believe in the plan, it really works πŸ‘πŸ» and like Sarah said to me this morning, just keep putting one foot in front of the other πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Also, I change my playlist every week, seems to be keeping me motivated.

Hi. Well done. I’m doing that run again as had to stop at 13 mins as I was so hot, was over 30 deg! Glad the temperature has dropped so will attempt again tonight. Well done you 🌟

I would have been the same, I have only done one run in the evening and it was exhausting! All of my other runs have been before 6.30 am... before my brain realised what I was doing πŸ˜‚
