It really is mind over matter

6 Replies

W6R3. This was the first time I set off doubting myself, but IT IS DONE ✅

I was really feeling like stopping but I had to coach myself to keep at it. Lungs OK , legs OK , just my head wanting me to quit but I did it! My language was a bit saucy when Jo suggested I speed up for the last 60s 😜

I see W7 first run is a repeat of 25 min run and I know it's tough but I've done it once!

Achilles a bit sore but I will follow advice posts and be ready for my next run. I am not sure I will ever really love running but I love the feeling of achievement after the challenge. 🏃🏽‍♀️👌🏼

Well done. We are still at the same place. Can’t believe how far we’ve come in 6 weeks.

Did you miss the rain on your run?

in reply to jlw34

Yes I saw only sunshine.

Was tough though . But I'm running in my walking shoes, heavy things! I'm promising myself good running shoes for graduation!! 👟👟

Maybe now is a good time for running shoes as no more walking. Made all the difference to me at week 3 😊

Great job... doubts banished... you have three more the same and then tiny jumps up to graduation. Jo and the others have been sworn at plenty of times I’m sure. 😂

Enjoy week 7
