Went to bed last night a bit nervous, had felt so tired and headachey yesterday and my knees sounded like they had bubble wrap in them every time I moved. I was thinking that my weight and general unfitness ( not a word) was catching up now the runs are longer and that I’d struggle today.
But I woke up with a clear head and although my pre-run stretching felt clunky (not sure that’s a word either 🤷🏻♀️) I felt mentally ready to take on the challenge.
First 5mins of the run felt like forever as it usually does but by halfway I felt I was in a good rhythm with Jackson 5 and Wham helping me along 😂
Like all week for the first half of the run I told myself I’d be happy to just get to the end but doubt I’d have enough in the tank for a faster burst but just like every other run I surprised myself and was able to give it a little sprint finish. Knees didn’t bother me at all 😃
Still can’t quite believe I’ve got this far but I feel ready for week 8 💪🏼

Amazing well done! I definitely understand what you mean by clunky, I definitely feel like that a lot when I first warm up in the morning 😂😂 you’ll smash week 8, don’t worry!
Go you!! I so get this. I feel like a concrete elephant at the start of most runs but it seems to pass. Some of it is mental with me. You are smashing this. 💪🏻💪🏻
