Just done run 2, much easier than run 1 of week 2, so funny how you notice even 30 seconds, looking forward to run 3 :-)

Glad to hear you're looking forward to run 3. It shows that you're making progress that the 2nd run of the week was easier than the first. You can do this....

Keep it up! On run 1 of week 2 I found my legs were burning in the last 20 seconds of running, but by run 3 I was doing it easy!

I like the line from the upcoming Star Wars films, "Breathe, just breathe." If your breathing is controlled then you will enjoy each run.

Well done so far.

Ha ha! I think this as I run sometimes! I am a massive Star Wars fan, and get funny looks when I run in my Star Wars T-shirt. (I am a 46 year old woman - not the usual demographic!)

Sadie, I think you will find it IS our generation that are the true Star Wars fans, I saw Episode 4 about SIX times at the pictures when it first came out, At the time I had 3 aunties and an uncle, each took me at least once (my uncle took me twice, one was covered as a swimming trip ;) ).

I too am 46 and I always book seats for opening night of any Star Wars films at the cinema.

I ALWAYS think of this quote when I'm running, it's the simplest think going and when I get to the end of a run it's the only thing I'm thinking!

That is true! I remember my pa taking me to see it at the tender age of 6 and it blew me away! Funny thing is, I now make Star Wars reference books for a living! Living the dream, eh? 😀 Breathe, just breathe...SO looking forward to The Last Jedi!

Damn, that sounds like a brilliant job! If it wasn't for us making Star Wars a success then there wouldn't have more films made.

For a low budget movie I'd definitely say it's more than paid for itself, thanks to us ;)

Not what you're looking for?
