Going backwards reversed

With a certain amount of trepidation after my last two completed but disappointing runs of week 8, I ventured out for No. 3 tonight determined to just go out and try and enjoy it. So, with the sound of all the encouraging comments from you lovely lot ringing in my ears, off I went. As usual it took a bit of time settling in, but by the time Mr Johnson (Michael that is, just to save any confusion) told me I was half way through, I realised I was moving along at a comfortable, relaxed pace for a change. Although still tough, not only did I finish the 28 minutes but pushed on for another 2.5. I know I probably shouldn’t of but I’ve done my 1ST 30 MINUTES🤣🤣. Sooooo pleased its put a wee smile on my face😃😃

Thanks again for all the positive comments, they worked 👍👍👍😊

If I would have had Boris Johnson as my coach, I would have beaten the world record for 5K just to ensure the podcast ended quicker. Aaah Michael Johnson....Nearly there! Keep it up!
