Bit of a turning point tonight - feeling really good😁

Win1

28 min run -back of the net -even managed to speed up the last minute to turbo snail!

Win2

Bought and more importantly actually wore proper running leggings - yes those lycra jobs that cling. Even if hubby had to help me into them as tight fitting clobber is hard to pull on with only 1 working arm lol. I didn't feel self conscious either - big Win 😊

Win 3

Also treated myself to some of those insoles for my shoes - really noticed the extra cushioning and am hoping my knees will thank me tomorrow

And the yuck -swallowed a moth - not a fan of insects generally but kept running and didn't break my stride- so possibly also a win lol

Happy bandit tonight xx

3 great wins there... most people leave the protein snack until after the run is over, but each to their own πŸ˜‚

Well done πŸ‘

I know - the old me would have had a hissy fit and spat everywhere like a mad woman - new running me is fearless πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Good work. Your nearly at the finish line. Wow, how exciting!

Your treating yourself to some new running gear for all those post grad runs,πŸŽ“ what a great reward as that run isn’t easy.

Cannot wait to find out what you planned for your graduation run? πŸ‘πŸ½

Thanks - am genuinely falling in love with this running lark - cannot believe how far I've come from the old fat bird who was shouting expletives at poor Laura in wk 1😊
