W5R2

Felt great after finishing this one, today was probably the first time that I felt the benefits of improved stamina which was surprising considering I'd just finished an eleven hour shift at work today. Needless to say, before I would have just slumped into a couch (like I'm doing now!) as soon as I got in the door after such a long shift but for whatever reason I felt really eager to get my run in tonight, especially as it's getting darker earlier now.

Tackling the first 20 minute run on Friday!

Well done on today & good luck for Friday. The feeling when you complete W5R3 is amazing - you'll be on a high for ages :-)

Good luck for Friday and thanks for the post - it's given me motivation as I`m doing the W5R1 tonight - already getting anxious about runs 2 and 3 in week 5.
