So I was looking forward to this one. However, last night I went to bed with a really painful left knee, backache, stiff neck and feeling a bit bloaty 🙁

Felt a little better when I got up and at least my knee was a lot better although it was raining? Anyhow, got my gear on did a few gentle stretches and off I went with Laura easing me into it...!

Nice and steady I worked my way through my muscles and joints sorting themselves out and a few issues with my breathing and I ran for ‘20 MINUTES’😀😀👍 Got to say I’m feeling great now!!

Got this one to come tomorrow - ridiculously excited for it but dreading it too, but after my two 8 min runs yesterday, I'm feeling much more confident!

Cool, I reckon it’s 90% mental🤪
