Berlin Marathon - DONE 🤩 3rd major ✅

Although it was a PW, I don’t think I’ve ever felt prouder crossing a finish line. The heat on Sunday added an extra level of brutality 🔥

(Admittedly in my Mel Robins Fan Club era)

Challenge for the week.... each morning, look in the mirror, give yourself a high five, and tell yourself "today is going to be a great day"

Finish the day by writing down one thing that has brought you happiness from the day

If you're in the North West of England, something might feel different.

A God-like figure is in the area.

Welcome Bruce (PS, where can I get this jacket 👀)
