Well done Dawn! I really enjoyed my w3r1 this morning too (out at 6.10 I must be nuts but we had a busy Sunday planned!). I was actually shocked when Laura said I was finished as I was sure there was another 1.5 mins run and 5 mins walk to go! We can both do it! Am planning on doing r2 on Tuesday, when are you doing yours?

How did it go today? I found it much harder than w3r1, really tough, especially the second 3 minute run. Was really breathless! May have pushed myself too hard as I was stupidly trying to increase my speed (why? Why? I blame Map My Run plus my terrible competitiveness!). So glad when it was over! Roll on Thursday when I am planning W3R3 😯
