Week 8 completed, onto the final week next week 😁😁😁

I just wanted to post to say I have completed week 8 😁 I'm thrilled, I couldn't have done it without the help and support from this forum. From struggling to run alone, a crisis of confidence and sustaining an injury which meant having to take a 10 day break it's been a real rollercoaster of emotions! All you lovely people on this forum offering me words of advice and encouragement has kept me going.

So a HUGE thank you, when I was injured I really didn't think I'd make it to graduation week, so excited to be able to run for 30 minutes non stop, I can't quite believe that's what I'll be doing on Monday 😁 those first few weeks I remember counting down waiting for sarah to tell me I could stop on the 3 minute runs.

Good luck to everyone just starting out, half way through and on their way to graduation. Let do this πŸ’ͺπŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ’₯

Thank you Sulley101 running alone is still my biggest hurdle. It's the feeling exposed and self conscious that gets to me the most. I'm hoping I will get over it in time. Just 3 runs 😁 I can't believe it

Well done Popstess πŸ˜πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘You are so close to the πŸ†πŸŽ‰. You can do this, just take it slow and steady and remember, you might feel a bit emotional on the 3rd run of week 9. I certainly did. Now I'm just emotional that I'm on the injury couch ☹️. Good luck with your 30 minute runs, you'll smash it!!! πŸ†πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
