After my huge fail last week due to the heat and passing out! I thought I’d wait til the weather changed! So after having 5 days of rest, I got my trainers on and got out there! Didn’t think I’d make it but I surprised myself and ran for 28 minutes!.......28!!!! Wow!! 💪 🏃‍♀️ (forest gump better move out my way! Cos I’m about to kick his butt) 😂😂🤣

Amazing, well done! Sometimes it’s good to have a few days longer rest, more energy to do a better run. Good luck for run 2 😊🏃‍♀️

I felt so tired! My legs were aching and was out of breath after running 10 minutes but kept my head focused and sang to my music, time flew by haha
