So proud of myself for completing this milestone run!πŸ˜€

After the night shift from hell (yes it was that bad, the worst in my nursing career so far πŸ™ˆ) and 2 hours sleep this morning, I was itching to get out and run. Given how shattered I am wasn’t sure i’d make it.

The trick for me is pacing myself and focusing on the music.

Probably ott but feeling on top of the world now! May just collapse later tho πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆπŸ’ͺπŸ‘ŠπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Congratulations Kimbov, you deserve a medal for running run 3 of week 5 after that "night shift from hell", I assume from that description that you never got a break for about 12 hours.

You need a good break from running until run 1 of week 6, be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks 🚢 and runs πŸƒ

Thank you, yes no break and entirely relentless 😩.

I’m going to go out Sunday for my next run as I’m off to sunny Wales for a couple of days! Thank you, I will be careful and stay slow πŸ˜€πŸ˜ƒ
