Week 5 R1 - what a change

Completed w5r1 tonight. I had a week's lay off with a cold between weeks three and four but I noticed a couple of things tonight.

Firstly the tiredness/pain in the legs has gone and it;s now a case of keeping teh breathing smooth and regular.

Secondly I'm not counting every second I;m running - I can detach my thoughts from the effort of running. Anyone else get this change?

I;m now looking forward to the rest of week %
