What a slog!!!!!! This really was mind over matter. Talk about come down from elation. I took on board different comments about this run, but I didn't think it would be as difficult, but I did it. I feel totally exhausted though.

But you did it! Well done. Have a well deserved rest and come back to the next one refreshed - you'll probably find it easier than today.

Thanks wannanewme I hope it is easier, my legs are really tired.

Exactly .... Hard but doable and do it you did. Enjoy your rest day.

Happy Running

You're at the same point I'm at and I'm going through the same thing! A man approached me at the end of my run yesterday and asked me if I was alright! It must have been written all over my face :-) Here's hoping W6R2 will be easier....

Oh dear I wasn't as bad as that but could not wait for Laura saying stop and walk. Someone else on the blog said the second run may be easier. Here's hoping. I have to have an extra day off as I can't do it on Friday. I think my legs were still heavy from the 20 minutes on Sunday. Keep running and good luck. Keep us updated.

Hear hear. Just back from W6R1. How on earth could it be harder than the 20 mins in week 5? Laura, I demand an explanation!!
