W8R2 Still managing it (just!)

OOh! My calves properly ache tonight! But I did manage to complete the 28 minutes, albeit at a slightly slower pace than I anticipated. I have to say, the week 8 runs have been the first time the thought of stopping has entered my head, but so far I've managed to knock those thoughts to the back of my mind, to plod on until the end.

I've come to the conclusion that I enjoy my runs so much more in the mornings. Evenings are proving a bit of a struggle, but unfortunately the pace of life is dictating when I'm able to go.

Well done to everyone who has made it to week 8 and beyond - I think we could all do with a virtual pat on the back. And everyone just starting out, just do it your way - you'll surprise yourself!
