Week 5 Run

After a miscalculation last week now I can truly say that I am over the hump having just completed 14 out of the 27 runs on the programme. I enjoyed to the two longer runs today. 8 minutes, who'd ov thunk it 5 weeks ago when I was lying on that couch. Though I still enjoy a bit of couch time. I even found myself thinking I wish this walking bit was over I have been walking for too long. I guess that means that I am recovering more quickly now as well. I even found myself speeding up a little (a relative term) for the second half of the second 8 minute run which was on the long incline section of my run. So all good today.
