Week 8 run 1 done, phew! πŸ€“

Well, blimmen’eck that was a slog! 😜 Not been feeling that great the last couple of days, so the gremlins were coming out to play! 😬Really quite humid when I went and wasn’t really feeling the joy. Anyway, that wasn’t going to stop me! Gritted my teeth and got on with it. Always feel better after the half way point regardless. As with some of my peers, had to laugh when Sarah suggested picking up my pace if I felt like it! I was thinking, I’m just trying to complete the blimmen thing, sadly! 🀣 Anyway, got there finally. Had to walk out my jelly legs during the 5 min cool down. πŸ˜† Feel a bit bemused by this one really but at least I know I can do it now. Hopefully the next couple will be easier! πŸ€žπŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’
