Woopee I got out there.. I just had to.. thought I would do the warm up walk.. start off slow.. and see how I went on. Breathing was good I was worried it would be tight.. but no.. 5 minutes in and I was still going.. figured.. yeah i think I might just do this.. few more minutes..legs were heavy but.. by then I was half way.. ten mins done. So week 6 run 2. I'm going to get you over with.. next ten min run was a battle of Will over the burning in my calves..but I couldn't give up this close to finish.. yes .. one min left says laura.. Ooh gosh.. help! The cool down walk was wobbly.. but woopee I got out to run again... now I'm home posting ..I'm back in the joyful land of the slightly insane and loving it :)
