Good riddance Week 7

Very glad to see the back of Week 7. Between migraine, period pain and low mood I really struggled with this one and it’s taken me 8 days to complete. Anyway, I did it! 🙂 New running shoes arrived - first pair were too small - so wore them today. Now I’ve spent money on them I’d better make sure I use them so mustn’t give up.

Yep, keep the good work up. You did really well to get out and beat those blues away, well done. Days like that make it even harder to get off the couch, but you did it 👍😉

Shoes look great. And well done. I m in awe of you as I’m only on week 6 having repeated week 4 and week 5 twice.

Don't be hard on yourself Leah, I repeated one of the runs about 5 times, everyone's different, but a lot of the time it really is a mental challenge rather than a physical one. You WILL do it 👍

Keep going, it's all the better for carrying on when you find it tough. The thing is to know when you really can't do it for a day or so and then to look after yourself. Don't feel defeated if you have to rest for a bit. Nice shoes too😊

Totally get you!! I’ve now completed week 7 too, it was tough!! Nearly gave up myself but then gave myself a talking too, especially when we’ve got this far!!

Week 8 starts tomorrow! I’m hoping I’m going into it with a better attitude as my run yesterday was fab!! We can do this 💪🏼 love the shoes too!!

Good luck with the final six runs, you should be running on air now with these new shoes.
