Wk1 under the belt 💪🏻

So we mixed things up again and decided to run in the morning....

It was tough. Ran on empty and only had a water bottle to keep me going.

🍅🍅🍅 that’s what I looked like by the end.

We went to another forest within the city, uphill runs. I persevered and only stopped once!

Was focusing to much on the run to snap anything.

I’ve completed week one. I’m actually so proud of myself! 🏃🏻‍♀️💪🏻🙌🏻👏🏻

Now to spend the rest of the day with a pink face. On the plus side, my energy levels are up!

Keep going! I honestly think week one has been the hardest for me so far I’m on week three now and it’s nothing compared to the pains and challenges of week 1 all the aches do get better! Keep it up!

Great job... very brave seeking out the hills! That running glow you have is well earned. Enjoy the next run.

Oh trust me, it wasn’t my decision!! 😂😂

But it was good to face a little challenge - like sustaining running isn’t challenging enough right now! 😅

Thanks for the positive words! Very much appreciated ☺️

You did hills on week one... I don’t care it wasn’t your decision, that’s amazing. Week 8 I was following the advice of Iron Maiden in “run to the hills” but I wasn’t willing to follow Kate Bush in “running up that hill” I was turning around and getting outta there like Meatloaf “bat out of hell”. Yes, I have running playlists for all eventualities 😂

You’re going to have a great journey here, that’s so plain to see.
