Week 7 Run3 Completed

I'm glad that's done. The first 5 mins seemed the worst since I'm full of doubt but after I'd settled down it all went quite smoothly. I'm still not brave enough to speed up in the last minute in case I spoil my rhythm and don't complete the run, so I just add a faster minute or thereabouts after Laura tells me I can stop.

Good luck to you too. It was windy on my run too. But half the time it was in my back and the other half I just gritted my teeth and thought about the return half.

Did my R3 Friday. How did you find energy for that extra minute? Good luck with W8R1 - how time flies it doesn't seem that long ago we were doing W1.

Quite a few of us should get our medals at about the same time, maybe we should have a party. The extra minute is quite easy since you get the euphoria kick from knowing you've done the run and you can stop anytime you like.

Not what you're looking for?
