Oh my gosh! I just got back from this run and I’m buzzing! One of my best runs and loved almost every minute of it! When michael said 5 mins left I was gobsmacked and wondered where the time had gone?! I did change my route and the weather was perfect for it

Just wanted to come on here and yell out loud that for the first time I felt like a proper runner!!! 🏃‍♀️

I definitely think things are aligned or they’re not. So I’m gonna remember this one for the next tough one. I played trance music this time and it suited my pace perfectly which really surprised me as it was actually quite slow!
