So I was putting off this second run of week 4. Storm Francis has been blowing all day but it suddenly seemed to calm as I was reading all these posts about going out and knocking it out of the park today - so I buckled up my running shoes, hitched up my doggie trainer (I wasn’t getting out without him 🐶) and off I went.

And it felt great - when it was done hahahaha.

So thank you to everyone for inspiring me and motivating me and making me feel so guilty if I don’t go 🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️

Thank you everyone ❤️

Well done, brilliant isn't it, certainly makes you feel alive! 🌧🌪

I did the same and on a hill while I was running up it the wind and rain were trying to blow me back down...had a couple of fellas that were loading a van laughing and shouting go on, you can do it! Lol it helped actually, there was no way I was stopping if I was being watched 😉
