So here I am! A week 9 runner!!! Who knew I’d ever get here 🙈 30 minutes done, not pretty or easy but done!

I can’t express how I’m feeling, family and friends say they are proud of me but I’m most proud of myself! He’s to smashing the last 2 runs and graduating 🙋🏼‍♀️

Here’s a little you can do it everyone! Happy Tuesday 👏🏼

Great job... and the victory lap has started. Don’t worry about it being pretty or easy... it’s something way more than that, it’s just plain awesome. Once you’ve completed the plan it’s time to consolidate and then it will become comfortable, maybe even easy. You’ve almost completed the toughest running plan there is... 0 is a hard place to start, and just look at you now!

What does to consolidate mean please?

Consolidation is a time where we stop pushing ourselves and spend time making the current running more comfortable. It’s recommended every few months, and usually good to do when your reach a milestone. So in this case it’s run 30 ministers runs until they’re comfortable/easy, and then on to the next start line.
