Ran 10 minutes! Woooooop!

So today I did the 8mins then 5min walk then 10 mins runnnnnnning!

Went for the sad tactic again - radiohead etc., feeling thoroughly sorry for myself and all that has gone wrong with my life.

But it worked! Got lost in my thoughts and it was over really quickly!

When I was nearing the end I even put on a super-angry track and sprinted the last 30 seconds!

Buuuut gotta take on the epic 20min run next - let you know how I get on!

Well done! Sounds like you smashed it!

I've never tried the sad tactic before....might have to try it!

Good luck for 'that' run....doesn't sound like you need it though :-)

Ok folks, today was my second run on week 1 I must say I was quite impressed with the improvement...

The dreaded wk5 run 3!

to run for 20 mins solid? Not me that's for sure. It is TOTALLY psychological. At 5 mins I thought...

Wk5 run3 and enjoyed it.

I ran non stop for 20 minutes -I keep saying it to myself so it will sink in. Can't believe how far...

W2R2 and I am like R2-D2

convinced me to just sit down and watch TV. But I ran and I liked it. Yeah I am slow and my shins...
