Erm what just happened ? It was amazing, chin up back straight smiling. No chest pain or gasping for breath. I don’t ever want to stop doing this. Thank you all for your generous support, enjoy your runs today lovely people 🏃🏻‍♀️💕🏃🏻‍♀️

You did, you did, you did!! 🍾

Isn’t it amazing. Like you, I’d no idea how good this running malarkey would make you feel.

I finished week 7 this morning so I’m on a post-25 minute high too. What a difference from only a few weeks ago, gasping for breath and not able to imagine a 90 second run!

Really well done getting that one done. Now you know you CAN run for 20 minutes there will be no stopping you.

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
