What a beautiful morning it was I got out early !! It was cooler and so drab as it had rained. I made it through the long ๐Ÿ’ฆgrass to my track. The wet legs felt great. Kept me cool !!

The gremlins crept in as I headed off on the first five minutes !! I knocked them into touch as I headed towards the half way line and then I felt great on the way back. I have got this I can do this weโ€™re whizzing around in my head !!! Feels so good when you succeed. I run on farm tracked never see a soul. Today there was another lady walking and when she said well done I couldnโ€™t run to save my self. I visibly swelled with pride ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜€someone recognised I was running ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ!!! I even managed to mutter neither could I 10 weeks ago !!! ( I repeated weeks one and two ) such a great feeling.

Onward to Friday and then one more week to graduation !!! I can do this !

Well done, you are almost there. I always struggle with the first 5 minutes but just keep repeating in my head, youโ€™ve got this, keep going girl. Good luck with w8r3 but Iโ€™m sure you wonโ€™t need it.

Doing great, well done! The first 5 minutes can be hard and I canโ€™t wait for that half way bell ๐Ÿ˜‚ I do enjoy it but preferred it in the warm, dry weather. Canโ€™t help but feel Iโ€™ll be a fair weather runner! ๐Ÿค”
