WK8 - so long and thanks for all the fish!

Did the W8R3 run on Thursday evening. Due to a route miscalculation I actually did 30 minutes - but hey who is counting 😂

It was quite hard as I kept encountering small steep hills and my thighs were really burning. It’s nice doing the longer runs as it gives me time to think it’s almost like meditation and I love it. I’ve been thinking how positive this programme has been and I am going to share my thoughts when I finish.

My body is still complaining but I’ve now reached the stage where I just don’t listen to it. I know it’s perfectly capable of doing what I am asking of it so get on with it. That also makes me happy because I now just grind on. I could stop if I want but I don’t have to.

Sorry for the ramble but I’ve just done W9R1 and I think I’m a bit hi on endorphins 😂😂😂😂
