W8R1 redone and nailed

What a completely different scenario this morning. Yesterday I gave myself a stern talking too and pulled myself together and got my head in the right place for today's run.

I loved this run! I knew I could do it before I started this morning because my mental attitude was right.

I saved half a curly wurly treat from last night and had this 45 mins before my run this morning....wouldn't normally advocate this and won't be happening again, but it is my birthday.

Feeling amazing and back to normal...managed 4.6k in 28 mins, so may be a whisper shy of 5 k with extra 2 mins next week...but not overly bothered about that as it will come. Just happy to feel back to me.x

My husband couldnt get over how disciplined I was only eating half....he stuffed his in one go and had his eye on mine! Yes, probably came across as a bit of à sad post...glad it made you chuckle.
