Week 5 Run 2

Before I knew it Laura said I was halfway through the first 8 min run so I picked up the pace. When she said one minute left I ran fast for a minute. Maybe a mistake as the second run was harder, but I made it to the end and was pleased.

I was also annoyed. A lady in the park asked me for the time 4 mins before the end and merely clicking the lock button (whilst running around the bench she was sat on!) to view the time messed up my phone. The music app wouldn't work at all so I had to run the last 4 mins without Laura :(

Nevertheless, I'm halfway through the programme. Yaaaaay!

What kind of mad person would interrupt a runner on a run to ask the time? Some people!

She was very apologetic in all fairness but I did think it was rather odd!

Great work... next time the answer is "it's time to run"... :)
