bit delayed but week 8 now underway

4 Replies

today started week 8

I was a bit apprehensive to be honest. I know it’s 3 more minutes but it seemed like a lot after my last run.

Forced myself out the door into the glorious sunshine and off I went. It felt great.

I am not going to lie the last 1 minute was tough but my heat rate was a LOT lower today so my fitness is improving.

Sometimes it’s the getting started is the hardest part.

🍏Exactly right! Getting out the door is often difficult especially when we are a bit apprehensive about a run! BUT you did it!! Well done! You are now strengthening your body and your mind for the finish. Great job!

Those gremlins work so hard at stopping you to get started, once you beat them and get out the door it all becomes clear that you can do it, well done
