Week5 R3

Oh my goodness! I’ve put this run off for over a week as I’ve had a few things going on (bump in the car) etc so couldn’t quite get my head in gear to think positive thoughts and actually believe I could do it.

However, once I decided tonight was the night, it was a far better experience than I thought it would be.

I had thoughts in my head that I’d be exhausted in the first 10 minutes, but I just felt like I got into a rhythm and then the time just flew by.

Got to say, this really does work.

Believe in it and believe in yourself! x

Well done you ⭐️ It’s great when a run comes together like that, and sometimes when you’re forced to take a few days off you actually come back stronger. All the best with week 6 !

You can do it, you will do it and you’ll feel amazing once it’s done.

Oh good for you, well done 👏👏👏

I’ve missed out w5r3 and gone on to w6 r1&2 and done them twice to avoid 20 min running 😫😳 but intend to do it Tuesday hopefully, a bit daunting is it not ?

It is, which is why it took me over a week to get my head in the right place before attempting it, but saying that I’m so glad I did it and I’m sure you can too.

Sending you positive thoughts.
