Week 8 already?!

Doesn't time fly when you're having fun!

I had dabbled with the idea of repeating week 7 but found myself clicking on run 1 of week 8 and thinking that I would see how far beyond 25 minutes I could go and if I didn't make it to 28, then I have my answer.

I only went and did 28 minutes! So damned pleased with myself right now 😊😊😊😊😊

Tried listening to Desert Island Discs instead of music and found it much better. Sue Perkins. Very funny lady ☺

That was my thinking. So glad that I went for it and I actually enjoyed it. I think that 2 rest days (I walked and swam on those rest days) and the slightly slower pace are working for me.
