What happened there?

Feels like two minutes ago that I posted before my very first run feeling petrified that I would look daft. I completed week 8 run 1 this morning and promptly burst into tears, so I really did look daft πŸ˜€ I was just completely overwhelmed by a sense of achievement. What a fantastic feeling.....to anyone just starting out, take it steady and just follow the plan and you'll get there before you know it.

Oh goodness me, yes I do! I remember thinking that I would never achieve 3 mins then 5 then 8.. 20 minutes seemed ridiculous. Now I'm running for 28 and feeling absolutely wonderful πŸ₯°

That's what happened this morning. I was running along thinking of all the weeks leading up to today and before I knew where I was, Laura was telling me to slow down. Such a great feeling
