20 degrees, a snails pace, new route on my lunch break but got it done ๐Ÿฅต.

I still wasnโ€™t in a very good place mentally and almost had a panic attack getting out the door but thank god I managed it. Toughest run to get out and do so far, but I knew it would make me feel better and it has ๐Ÿค—.

Good run for you today at lunch time Sally, nice to run in a park and not along a main road, well done on completing run 1 of week 7, not long now until you graduate.

There are some really positive things in your story.

1. You've had a run.

2. You feel better for having had run.

3. You overcame anxiety to go and run.

4. You completed W7R1!

5. You're an even better runner than you were before item 1 above.

That sounds a lot like a fantastic run and, with a pretty impressive set of achievements thrown into the bargain. :)
