Dedication - for once!

5 Replies

Hi Everyone!

Against the odds - I’m back!

W1r3 completed!!!

I had made up my mind in the day that I would do the run today no matter the weather as I was trying to think of ways to avoid it.

Even though my husband knows hard hard it is for me to keep motivated- he was saying ‘leave it today it’s going to rain’

Luckily, me and my daughter ignored him and, guess what?, it didn’t rain and I succeeded!!! And I was marginally faster - hurray!

Having my daughter keeping me company at the moment really helps as she’s encouraging and not critical - lovely girl x I’m very lucky x

Week 2 starts on Friday - eek!!!

Hope you’re all having fun!

Lucy

The first week is the hardest since you are starting a new adventure and you are succeeding. Good on your daughter. Your hubby thought he was doing the right thing. listen to music as you run. It helps to pass the time.

Welcome back. Keep it up... I had to drag myself out there early on, but we only have to do that until the addiction kicks in!

Enjoy Friday’s run.
