Eager to run today w7r3

Omg I am so amazed! It was freezing today and I was suffering with my lower back pain/spasms. After a couple of rounds of ibuprofen through the day my back loosened up. I was only planning to walk for a bit but I felt so mentally and physically ready and really keen to run. I cannot believe how far I have come from week 1 when I was hugging and puffing and struggling to run for 60 seconds.

This plan is flipping amazing. If I can manage it then anyone can. I had a love affair with my comfy couch....but no more. Now I love love love running πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘ŸπŸŒβ€οΈ

Well said Ceri. You’re smashing the plan and have been well and truly bitten by the running bug like the majority of us! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Great job... week 8 is only a tiny step up now. That couch... I think you can still love it, after the run. Keep on loving running.
