Blimey what a run ! Felt abit panicked and thought I can't do this during today's run ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ญ which I put down to going abit too fast so slowed down, but once I got to between 18-22 mins it felt like there was no way I wasn't doing it ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜‰and went an extra minute too just to see if I could ,full on red face today and still prefer to run early mornings but I did it and it was fine ๐Ÿ‘ and I survived so pleased when I got home ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Feel great and I can't believe week 8 is here ,still feels unreal but it's real it's achievable just one week at a time

Happy running everyone in front and behind ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ‘Œ
