W7 is done and dusted!

I wasn’t going to run today but then the sun came out n suddenly I really wanted to so thought I’d go with it.

I decided to just accept that it was going to be another slog, and that, combined with my daughter making me laugh till I cried just before I set off, made it infinitely more bearable. Mindset is everything!

Took it really slow n it though it was still hard work, it wasn’t as horrible as previous slogs have been.

Onwards to Week 8 now! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Well done Jill. A positive mental attitude is everything on this journey. Goodbye week seven. Week Eight is just three more minutes on each run. You've got this xx

Thanks! Yes, my mindset hasn’t been the best lately but I think accepting that it’d be a slog really helped xx
