I was SO nervous about this run, and I just wish that I had read/ heard what Laura said during “the” run.

here’s a summary:

1)You have come this far. If you have completed the program up until now you CAN physically do this, you just need to pace yourself and remember to breath.

2)Today’s run is really about training your mind and getting it used to running longer distance

So, Just run, and if you think about stopping ask yourself why. If it’s your mind telling you, either ignore it or remind it you can do this.

Find YOUR own way of continuing.

Today i achieved something I never thought I could, and it would have been much less painful if I had just believed I could!

That is so fantastic! Such an achievement, you must be so happy 😊

It is so much about trusting your body, which is very empowering for your body and soul.

I think it makes us fearless in other parts of our lives too! If we can run, we can do anything!

Got mine to look forward to this coming Wednesday, must admit the excitement and fear are at equal footing at the moment, but reading this and other stories I know the fear is unfounded. Thanks for that post, it has eased my mind, and well done on doing it.
