W6, d1 felt too easy, Mr Smugg' back.

Yesterday evening was our w6, d1 and it was a very hot sticky evening, too hot for me but it went really well and dare I say felt fairly easy. I never thought I'd ever be saying that, and apart from a slight tightness in the calf and shin I'm relatively pain free. I think I'm getting there. ☺

Thanks misswobble, I didn't say it was quick or pretty but I feel like I'm getting there. I can't believe how far we've come in such a short time.

Well done. Its a great feeling when you go on a run and everything just seems to go right.

You should be especially smug considering W6R1 was the worst run for many of us.

Great going - Your allowed to be smug, one thing I've learned in here is just to say it how it is. Don't be afraid if your struggling to say or ask for help and don't be shy in sharing successes. It all helps everyone else see we are going though the same ****!!!
