Week 9 - Run 1 🥵

Well blow me down with a feather I’ve just run for 30 mins!!!

What got me through the feeling of accomplishment, sheer determination?!? No the peanut butter on toast and coffee the size of my head I’d promised myself when I got home 😂🥜☕️ 🍞 .

Slightly disappointed I pushed and pushed and was confident I’d hit 5k but unfortunately my app said 2.6 miles so a bit short. I did run the final 12 mins uphill this was something I couldn’t do just a couple of weeks ago ☺️☺️

Well done! The thought of peanut butter on toast would make me run slower, or in the opposite direction, just the smell of it makes me heave. With you on the coffee though ☕️

Well done on getting up the hill. If it hadn’t been there you might’ve hit that 5k. Fingers crossed for next time 🤞

I like peanuts and butter but the smell of peanut butter is just too intense. I’ve never actually tasted it cos I just can’t get past the smell 🤢

Well done, you've run for 30 minutes, bet you didn't think you'd be able to do that 9 weeks ago!

So frustrating I’m pushing like mad to get that distance I don’t think I’ll manage the 5k in 30 mins, next target 🎯. Enjoy your run!
