Wow! Whoโ€™d have ever thought Iโ€™d get this far! Certainly not me ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

After doing a bootcamp event with my gym on Sunday I had quite a bit is backache during my run last night. I got through it but the walk back to the car was uncomfortable๐Ÿ˜ฉ

I am still slow, the time and distance on the picture includes the before and after walks. As weโ€™d run further down the trail than in previous runs we had a longer walk back than the 5 mins Laura tells you to do.

On to week 9 tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘

Don't worry about the stats as you completed it and that's the main thing. I bet that walk back was uncomfortable but hopefully the backache goes pretty quickly. Best of luck with the beginning of week 9. Ever so nearly there! ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜€

I think the back pain was the after effect of being at at my desk all day. It feels better today so hoping tomorrowโ€™s run Iโ€™ll be okay

Donโ€™t worry about speed and distance itโ€™s amazing to be running for almost 30 minutes ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ and with backache ๐Ÿฅด hope itโ€™s subsided ok.

Only 3 runs to go... good luck ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜€

I have said all along as long as I can run for 30 minutes by the end Iโ€™ll be happy. My next target will be to get to 5K. Using Strava I have found that I am looking at each run to see any progress but Iโ€™m trying not to get hung up on the figures.

This has always been about conquering my self sabotaging and my negative thoughts. At the moment I am doing that ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜€
