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 itโ€™s taken me 8 days to complete. Anyway, I did it! ๐Ÿ™‚ New running shoes arrived - first pair were too small - so wore them today. Now Iโ€™ve spent money on them Iโ€™d better make sure I use them so mustnโ€™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 ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‰

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 ๐Ÿ‘

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 too๐Ÿ˜Š
