So after my last post where I was feeling a bit jaded I had a word with myself 🀣 this morning I've been out and cracked a 20 minute run and did 2.8k. Feeling a lot more positive now! I CAN do this!

Well done you.

I felt exactly the same after graduating a few weeks ago but letting things slip recently.

I’ve decided to not put too much pressure on myself, look at how far I’ve come and try and enjoy myself.

On Thursday I managed 20mins and I did enjoy it.

Happy running ahead! x

Well said! I certainly couldn't have managed 20 minutes running a few months ago. But we can now 😁

Did something happen after you graduated that you didn't keep up the running, Oddity?

I hear you, can totally relate! Well done you for getting back out there πŸ‘Š I agree that for some of us it's about no pressure, I've stopped timing my runs now but so long as we keep showing up and plodding along we're winning!😊 You are doing great!πŸ‘πŸ‘
