Week 7 Run 1

So... this week I gave myself a few days off running to enjoy being maid of honour at my big sisters, big day 👰 what a fabulous wedding it was!! Super proud of my sis 🥳

Back to it... Week 7 commenced... first 5 mins I felt terrible, like I couldn’t breathe, like I needed to stop, but I pushed through, and then you weirdly settle in to it. Bizarre feeling.

Now feeling so good, and still can’t quite believe I can now “run” for 25 minutes without stopping - incredible!

I was super excited to see how far I ran within this time, but annoyingly I got half way through my run, looked at my watch - thinking, why hasn’t it buzzed at me for the first mile... and realised it hadn’t started 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Anyways, there’s always next time! Feeling excited for the next few weeks 😬 I can see park run on the horizon!!

I love the colours and everyone looks fabulous. I also had hiccups with my gadgets today. Well done on your awesome progress :)

Well done and it still counts even if your watch didn't record it.
