Week 8 Run 3

Just completed week 8 πŸ˜‡πŸ˜Š

Cant say it was my most enjoyable run, felt hard work, heavy legs, sluggish. It didnt beat me though I still finished it

Which proves to me how my mental strength has improved, I'm so pleased that I've noticed that, when I find it hard I can still dig deep. Its as if you need these hard times to confirm to yourself that yes it's hard but yes you can do it

3 runs left 😳😁

Well done! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

It was warm out there this morning and the air quality didn’t feel that good.

Only 2 more runs, then Graduation! I read somewhere that heavy legs can be a symptom of poor hydration, but maybe it was just one of those runs that we all have now and then. You did it thoughπŸ‘

Make sure you have plenty of water the day before your next run. Now the runs are longer, it’s more important than ever. Good luck with WEEK 9!!! πŸ˜€

Thank you, I need to be more aware of my water intake especially as its warmer at the moment.

Now I've had time to reflect, the fact it was hard has not bothered me. I understand now some good days some not so good. I did it and that's what matters. 😁

Thank you yes it has. It's something I've noticed during these last 2 weeks, I'm just as pleased with that as much as the physical strength

Do you hear that?

3 RUNS LEFT!!!

πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

It’s funny but when we start week 1 we can never imagine getting here but you have just got on with it.. ticking off the runs as you go

I couldn’t be more proud of you- you came here with no confidence having tried this before and not completed it but here you are smashing thru the weeks and you’re sounding so much more determined πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I can’t wait to read your last 2 runs, and then for your graduation run you need to push the boat out!... it’s such an emotional run, everything you’ve worked so hard towards... you deserve to treat yourself and you most definitely need a keepsake if it all πŸ‘πŸ’•

This last week or 2 I've really noticed a difference in my mental strength. Thats not to say I wont still dip in and out of down times or suffer with my confidence but realising that I am capable is a lovely feeling. However much I struggled this morning or found it hard I absolutely knew I was stopping

I've been doing just 2 runs a week instead of 3 which seems to suit me at the moment so I'm sticking with that.

Thank you for your kind words πŸ₯°

Hope you're having a better week
