Week 8 Run 3

So completed this one this morning. Was a bit of a struggle with the internal dialogue doubting myself, which is odd as I was really confident on the other two runs this week. I didn't have my music so I was very aware of being out of breath and the sound of my feet hitting the ground. But NOTHING was going to stop me completing my run. I have to say, it's been too long since I did something I was really proud of. And I am so proud of myself for getting this far. When I started out I was half heartedly committed as I thought there was no way I could run for ten minutes never mind twenty five. So to anyone just starting on this journey you absolutely can do this. I am half a century, so if I can do it anyone can. So looking at the final week and three more runs. The only thing is that I am going to America tomorrow. My gracious host has kindly bought me some running shoes and running shorts and where I am based has some lovely space to run. So I fully intend to graduate in The States. But- stupid question alert - the app will still work for me won't it? I want to share my special moment with the lovely Michael Johnston.

Looks like we'll both be doing Week Nine in America -- you're a week ahead of me, though. I will follow in your footsteps! Best of luck, and I hope your app works there!
