Week 8 run 2 - nailed it!

I have no idea where my energy came from this evening! Hubby set off at too fast a pace so I asked him to slow down. Then I thought... actually I don’t feel too bad going a little faster - first time I’ve ever felt that !!

I still had a teeny bit of energy at the end which I think always helps you feel more confident for the next run... roll on Saturday am (or fri eve) for the final run of this week.

Still in awe at how fab this program is!😊🏃‍♀️

Energy at the end ? Well done you !

I’m did same run as you today but this morning felt a little more challenging than W8R1. I tried a slightly different route and for some reason was a bit nervous. Will return to usual route on Friday.

If all goes to plan it could be we graduate next week - what an achievement. I really didn’t think I’d get this far which shows how fabulous this program is.

Hope all goes well for R3 at the end of the week

Yes what an achievement indeed, I really can’t believe I’ve come this far! Good luck on Friday & keep us posted next week!

Funny you say that re changing your route - I did the route in reverse for w8r1 and felt it was “all wrong” and it just kept playing on my mind all through the run. Never again!! X
