Wk 9 run 3 5.3 km OMG ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

What a fabulous feeling. Itโ€™s been a difficult week as my ex husband had a manic episode and disappeared for 12 hours. I found him and am currently looking after him as there is no care provision in the NHS. ( heโ€™s no danger to anyone or himself).

Week 9 runs were for my stability and positive mental health.

Today was glorious, music: Aretha, coach MJ, and an undulating route, with sunshine and not alot of people ๐Ÿ™

For anyone who doubts themselves, my best advice..... take your time and trust the programme. It really really does work.

Thank you ! This made lockdown bearable.

Good luck and smile when you run. It actually helps๐Ÿ˜˜

Congratulations! What a great feeling it is, when you have so many challenges thrown at you but you still come through. Youโ€™re right, smiling along the way definitely helps, I was told that by someone else on here, tried it, and found that, apart from looking a bit crazy when I saw other people, it made everything g easier and more enjoyable too. Well done, runner!

Thatโ€™s amazing Honor, itโ€™s really rare for any of us to make 5k on graduation, fantastic achievement. Looks like you were able to channel some very negative events into a very positive outcome. Brilliant!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Thank you. Your kind words mean alot . The irony is by following the programme and listening to your trainer say โ€™slow downโ€™ I didnโ€™t feel as if i was going that fast !!๐Ÿ˜†
