W5R3 done, no interruptions!

I posted a couple of days ago about my first attempt at the 20 minute run was scuppered by my son's school ringing me.

Well I redid the run and all went well. Greta the gremlin piped up at the beginning as my calves felt tight when I started running, but I told her to get lost and slowed my pace and the tightness disappeared.

What really surprised me was how much I had left "in the tank" at the end of the run, I was waiting for Laura to tell me I had a minute left but when she said I could slow to a walk I was gobsmacked! This is from someone who struggled with the 3 minute run a few weeks back.

I am so pleased I did this again, roll on week 6!

So glad you redid this run! That feeling of having something left in the tank really does help with week 6. Can't wait to hear how you get on. Woo hoo!
