W8R2 - Getting There!

So I completed W8R2 this evening without any bother. I got into a nice, steady rhythm after about ten minutes & ran the whole 28 minutes comfortably.

Last run I decided to get to halfway & then slow down if I needed to (I didn't). This run I decided to get to halfway and then speed up (I didn't). But it's definitely progress that I thought I might be able to!

So I'm feeling very happy tonight that graduation next week is on track. I can't wait!

Great news, Scipio. Weeks 8 and 9 are all about building confidence, I think, if I read rightly between Laura's lines. That sense that you can rely on your new found ability feels so fantastic, doesn't it? Good luck on a great progress to the beautiful grey badge. Keep us posted!
