Just finished the first 30 min run - I feel sort of overwhelmed and amazed by my progress over the previous weeks. I’m buzzing with this fantastic achievement - that is I actually wanted to get up at 5.45am this morning and go running - yes running - well slow running but I loved it. Thank you everyone for all your positive posts, tips and inspiring words - we can absolutely do this - together πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ€ΈπŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ‘βœ…πŸ˜Š

Yes indeed - nearly there. I knew if I didn’t go early I’d chicken out - like I did yesterday - but in this weather after not sleeping the night before an extra day was definitely a good choice. Onwards we go - end In sight or is it just the beginning whoopee πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘βœ…πŸ˜Š
