Yesterday was the worst day ever!! I had the extremely sad news that my young auntie had suffered a minor heart attack and was admitted to hospital πŸ₯πŸ˜”!!

I really was at my wits end!! Just really mentally overwhelmed!! It was too much!!

However, I decided to take some action so I got my Galaxy Buds+ 🎧 on, some motivational tracks and set off for my run πŸƒ!

With the rain trickling down my cheeks like pearl beads and the twinkling lights 🌟 of the street lights over the horizon, the stars ✨ pounding to my beat 🎢!!

I felt AWESOME!! It really did help!! I couldn't believe how cathartic that was!!

Bring on Week 4!!

I'm sorry to hear about your auntie, I hope she recovers soon!

Well done for doing your run though during that rough time, its fairly common that people run to de-stress, so I'm glad it helped you.

Week 4 was one of my favourites, it's when I really started to feel the difference and how the programme helped my stamina!

Good luck :)

Awwwwwwww thank you β™₯ so much for your kind words, I really do appreciate it x my auntie is conscious and is in hospital πŸ₯ so 🀞x

I listened to your advice and drank plenty of water πŸ’¦ and it does make a huge difference!!

Thank you β™₯

What does Week 4 look like πŸ˜‚?

That’s good, it’s the best place she can be! Yeah I was surprised once I started drinking water more often how much difference it can make! Week 4 looks way more daunting than it actually is - the programme has trained you to do that 5 minutes of running so as long as you have the right mindset for it, you’ll be ready 😊

Well done! Running is so good for mental health. My dad's also in hospital at the moment and running has really helped me cope. Hope your auntie recovers soon x
