Hi fellow runners, I wasn’t sure how it would go today as I hadn’t run for 6 days. I managed to get my head down and get into a good rhythm. It sounds boring but I hadn’t got a view of anything, except the timer on the treadmill, so I focused on where I was placing my feet and listened to my favourite music. When I did look at the timer, I was hoping I would have about 5 mins left, I was amazed to see that I had been running for 33 mins, so 5 mins over my target of 28 mins. I really couldn’t believe it. I only hope the next 5 runs before graduation go as well. Keep running!!!!!!!!!😊

That is amazing. Well done! You’ll have to give tips on how to not look at the timer 🙈 I must look every 2 mins 😂
