Ran w8r1 last night, didnt start well actually, nearly stopped a few times, but my heart wasn't in it really - I had forced myself to go out, BUT after about half way started to get into it a bit, and by the end I was so happy I'd carried on. I now cant believe I have only 5 runs left till completion. Amazing. So after a crappy week 7 and almost giving up - I think I have my mojo back, so for anyone who feels the same, carry on, sometimes you just have a bad run, or a bad week, it doesn't mean you cant do it anymore.

Well done on finishing the run! I know how you feel. Once I get half way I usually am OK to push on, but it would be so easy to slow down and stop.

What drives me forward is just seeing how far I've come in the last 8 weeks (I've just completed 8 1 too.) I think it's easy to forget how much we've achieved so far sometimes :).

Well done for keeping on and yay for getting into it in the end! It's really surprising how different each run can be, even doing the same route, there are so many different variables that can affect how it feels. Sometimes actually running feels wonderful and sometimes it feels like something I have to trudge through. But I always feel ecstatic afterwards and possibly a teeny bit smug! 😂 That's what keeps me going through the tough bits.
