starting a run is the hardest

completed week 6 today .a 25m run...hard but I know I could carry on ..its starting the run that I find the hardest ..I lack any sort of rhythm , just plod along awkwardly with a head full of negative thoughts, thinking people are laughing at my funny running ,or my mind telling me I am going to quit before the end ..but I fight it and as time goes on ,I find myself running less awkwardly .

Hey, if you’ve completed week 6 you’re already one of my heroes - I’m still repeating week 1 here ! Go out there loud and proud, and as you start off, fill your mind with how you felt in week 1 and how far you’ve come already. We’re all proud of you too ⭐️⭐️⭐️
