Well we did it! Definitely hard work by the end of the second 8 min run, but we were trying to push ourselves.
Sports day update: so many girls entered the 800m that names went into a hat and my daughter wasn't picked π But looking on the bright side, it's good that so many girls are enthusiastic about running, and a few weeks ago she wouldn't have been disappointed not to run it.
We are thinking about entering our local race for life which falls at the end of week 8. It will give us something to aim for and it won't matter if we need to run/walk it.
