Week 8 Run 1! Best run so far!

Week 8 run 1 done! :D and it went so well! ๐Ÿ˜ somehow I found this run easier than the 25 min runs! I kept a steady pace, never felt like I wanted/needed to stop and had the energy to speed up quite a bit at the end! :)

I think it helped that I changed my daily routine up a bit today. Usually I run first thing and walk my dog afterwards, but today I did it the other way around. Iโ€™m not really a morning person (as much as Iโ€™d like to be!) so I find rolling out of bed and going straight for a run quite hard. I find my runs are generally better when Iโ€™ve already been up and moving. Iโ€™d already walked 6k before my run so I was plenty warm! Iโ€™ll probably stick to walking the dog first and running after, it seems to work for me!

Roll on runs 2 & 3 ๐Ÿ˜ feeling great! ๐Ÿ˜
