All done and dusted. I was dubious about this run. Then half way through the 3 minute segment of running the music dumbs down a bit and Michael J goes.."your halfway through keep goin" im like damn you guy! Thought you were gonna say well done now walk.

It got harder but manageable and at the end he let me know theres one minute of running left as im struggling up a hill.

I reach the top and let out a battlecry of success and annoyed some blackbirds in a nearby tree. Chuffed i know i can do this.

Thanks for reading

Of course you can do it. The sense of achievement when you finish a run is amazing. Well done 😊

Well done Waylander 85, I found the start of each new week tough as it increases the running time, but you've got this, well done. No one likes blackbirds anyway, noisy things.

Well done for keeping going, especially uphill. I can picture your yell of success and the surprised blackbirds!!

I also remember being a bit taken aback when Sanjeev said "That's...." and I thought he was going to say " That's it for the running today " but he then said "That's one minute to go"!

You ran up a hill! Amazing stuff; I'm on week 8 and I still avoid hills whenever possible. Very well done.

Great job... well deserved victory cry at the end too. Knowing you can do this will help a lot, now you can relax into those runs.
