Week 8 done ✅

Busy busy with the new home etc so haven’t been on social media.... finally finished week 8 this morning. Was a solo run as hubby is shattered from the move and working etc.

Was a bit nippy when I went out, felt a bit silly in my short shorts and bright pink top, but I soon warmed up. Met a few fellow runners and got into my pace sooner than normal.

Still running ( jogging ) slow - 3.6 km ( only track the running no walking) but it’s more about being able to run for 30 mins and feel great, also the biggest thing for me is I feel so much fitter.

Looking forward to week 9... 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Well done ! Especially when you have a lot on 🏡🚛

I do wonder how I’ll progress once back to work 🤷🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

The ability to Run 30 mins is amazing I think , distance and pace can be worked if wanted .

Everyone has different motivations & reasons

I’m happy to go a 20/30 minute run round the neighbourhood for now .

That’s if wk 9 goes to plan of course 😂

That’s great you got comfortable so quickly 🙂 well done for getting out there during such a busy time! I felt the same about the shorts situ but by the time I went out it was gloriously warm again! Just bought my first pair of winter leggings though 👍🏼🥶

Thanks. Yes, finding it hard to fit in around work and unpacking boxes 📦. I need to invest in some winter leggings, the air is getting nippier 😞

Thank you 😊

Fantastic Jules! Well done.

I wish I had an ass that still looked good in short shorts 😂😂

Mine would be spilling out all over the place and I'd no doubt get arrested for being obscene in public!

Well done for reaching week 9. I'm only one run ahead x
