I canโt believe I have actually just ran for 20 minutes!! The first 10 minutes was one heck of a slog, but the last 10 minutes absolutely flew by!!
I didnโt start off with the best mindset, all I could think about was that Iโve got ages until the run is over! So I turned up my music and just tried to focus on everything but the run. I would say the first and last 5 minutes were the hardest, the rest in between was more than manageable๐
For the last 3 minutes I constantly had my phone in my hand so I could watch the time counting down, by this point I was struggling but there was absolutely no way I was giving up so close to the finish line! It surprisingly made that last 3 minutes a lot more bearable and it gave me a big kick up the bum to see the run out to the end! I am so chuffed with myself, I really am!
Even though Iโm horrendous at the mental side of running and keeping focused, I must have been in the zone at one point as I donโt actually remember hearing the halfway bell๐คฃ
To anyone about to start this run, and who is apprehensive about it, trust me, if I can do it you most certainly can!๐
