Not as bad as I thought....

Wasnt looking forward to Week 8 run2, having struggled on the last 2 runs. And I was wondering if 25 minutes was my limit (a kind of marathons runners mini wall!) However, I persevered this morning and, although 28 minutes wasnt easy, it was easier than last time. So, woo hoo! Onwards and upwards.

Just had the same on W7R1 but slogged through.

So now we have proved we can do it the once we can do it again.

Yey JulieDawnH...?! You are flying...28 minutes??!! Look how far you've come?! I know it's not easy & for some reason one run can be better than another even though they're the same length?! Keep on though, you're nearly there...can you smell the polish? Someone's busy making your badge all shiny!!!
