W8 r1- done.

Today I started this run twice... I did my first 5 minute walk, then ran for 10 minutes and gave up, I don’t know why I stopped running, I can only put it down to the cold weather, it made it hard to catch my breath.

Anyway.....I was so disappointed in myself and determined to complete the run. I stopped the app and started the run all over again, so today my total running time was 38 minutes lol (with a 5 minute walk in between the first 10 minutes and my second attempt)..... I’m really proud that I pushed myself and didn’t give up. Hopefully w8r2 won’t be as tricky and I won’t need a 10 minute practice :p

Well done Hattie, that's true determination - you should be very proud. 💪 You also know you can do it now, so run 2 should be a doddle. 🤣👍

Wow. That is impressive. Can’t see myself doing that. After that effort you are going to fly through from here.

Well done! Would have been easy to give up and go home. You didn't and now you will likely feel great! 👍🏻😁

Keep it up!
