Week 9, Run 1

So today was much better. I managed to get out of my head and just get on with it (okay, watching Friends at the same time may have helped!).

I have just run for a total of 30 minutes ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿฅณ I didnโ€™t started my watch until after my warmup walk either so Iโ€™m pretty chuffed with 4.3km!

For anyone debating whether they can do this, believe me, if I can do it, anyone can!! Itโ€™s almost killed me some weeks but such an achievement when you complete each run ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Bring on run 2!!!

Congratulations on your 30 min run ๐Ÿ‘ I'm assuming this is run 1 ?

Just a bit confused as your post title says week 9 run 3 but your screenshot says run 1 and the end of your post you say bring on run 2 ๐Ÿ˜

Iโ€™m looking forward to the end but not sure whether Iโ€™m going to cope without Jo Whiley giving me 5 minutes talks lol

I must say I thought the same with Sarah Milican but Iโ€™ve done 3 runs this week with just my music and Iโ€™ve been absolutely fine! Would never have believed it but I was!!
