Wow - what a feeling when Laura told me โ€œYou are now officially a runnerโ€ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ .

I was not looking forward to this run as Iโ€™s skipped a couple of days before it due to some family issues at home. That was the longest break Iโ€™ve had since starting the programme. When Laura told me what duration I was running, I must admit mentally I was knocked. However, I knew my legs and body could stand it so I push through my doubts. Iโ€™ve learnt from the programme that keeping the right mentality is key. Also, the โ€œtoxic tenโ€ others mention is such a tight description as that was the hardest part of this run.

My message to others - beat your mental battles and you can really surprise yourselves; the duration of the run is only a number - positive attitude is everything ! Onwards and upwards ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š

Hey runner...! Well done you... the lovely longer relaxed runs are here:)

Relax into them.. start slow, stay slow, and let those newly forming running legs begin to find their own happy pace:)
