Week 8 ✔️

Just completed the final run of week 8, this has been my favourite week so far, really enjoyed the longer runs. I’m off work for a few days so was able to run a different route, ran along the canal and it was the first time I’ve not been on tarmac, the change of scenery did me good I think. I was a little disheartened when a lady ran past me and I watched her stretch away into the distance so I stopped watching her and got on with doing my own thing 😂😂

Taylor Swift saved me when I was tiring at the end, Shake It Off was the perfect beat for my tired legs to keep going 😀

On to week 9, I know I’ve got another two minutes in these legs 😊

Well done Julia. I've fallen behind you by two runs now. Just did W8R1 this morning. Funny thing is, I thought I was going quite slowly but actually did a 10:06 mile which was a complete surprise (obvs). Anyway, I'm taking inspiration from your experiences so thank you. #keeprunning :)

Well done, don't worry about anyone else, everyone is different. Just think how far you have come since you started this journey. Surroundings sound lovely and, if you don't mind, I might copy having Taylor Swift for my Spotify playlist. Great choice!

Well done! I'm two runs behind you and can feel the confidence building with each run that I do without stopping. Just keep motoring.
