Second attempt at week 8

Week 8 didn't go so well for me last week- my runs were all lunchtime from work, I was tired and not well enough hydrated. I had to keep stopping to walk for a few minutes each run. Started again this morning- I prefer morning runs and like circuiting the sports pitch near home and I did it! So w8r1 completed. Hoping to do one lunchtime and 2 morning home runs by the end of next weekend. Feel like I've broken my psychological barrier now and trying to be positive about finishing week 8.

Thanks Neilix. Mind over body! Mornings definitely suit me better. Might try one at 6.15 before getting kids up for school. Good luck tomorrow- nearly there! Great feeling 😊.
