W4 R3 Got my mojo back thanks to slow running 😁

After thinking I was at my limit and doubting my ability to progress any further on Friday, I posted about help to run slower.

Well today I ran slower and the difference was amazing! I feel amazing!

I ran my last 5 almost as quick as I ran my first 3 on Friday because I had something left in the tank and I knew I could finish.

Luckily it was raining so noone overheard me saying "can I run and still talk" out loud once a run to make sure I wasn't going too fast 🀣

Thanks for the advice and getting me back on track 😊
