Doing a celebratory dance tonight

I had planned to go a run with my friend but after working slightly later, I wasn’t feeling up for it. I called her and she didn’t answer so I decided to go and meet her as didn’t want to let her down. I am so glad I did. It made me feel so much better. This is something I am going to keep reminding myself of for the future.

Week 9, Day 2 ✅ 🎉 .

I’ve not quite achieved the full 5k running but that will come. It’s all about the duration just now. If you asked me if I was able to run a whole 30 this time last year, I would have laughed out loud. I’ve never in my life completed an exercise goal. This plan is honestly the best thing I’ve done. I cannot wait cannot wait to graduate on Saturday 🙌

Hooray for not letting friends down! 🙌🎉 You've got a nice steady pace too, so you're all set for run 3.

That’s good to hear about pace as I feel I’m running too slow. Thank you 😊

I'm a strong believer in running at the pace that lets you finish the run without keeling over 😁Lots of people start off too fast and as the runs get longer they get in a pickle. If you do a parkrun when they start up again, you really have to resist the temptation to try and keep up with the speedy ones who run like greyhounds. You'll get faster as your body gets stronger.
