Wow! W6R2

I did it! I'm still smiling now ๐Ÿ˜

After me struggling so much on Tuesday with the W6R1 I was not looking forward to today as I thought that I might fail to complete it.

I put my running playlist on my iPod and set off at a steady pace and enjoyed every bit of it though.

I think the weather helped as it's a glorious morning and the sun shining on the river is so beautiful I forget that I'm running!

I'm now looking forward to Sunday morning, I just hope the weather's as nice.

Well done, that to me was the end of the hardest part, I found that switch from running to walking and back again was throwing my rhythm with breathing, I'd seem far more out of breath after doing W6R2 for instance than I did with either W5R3 or W6R3.

Keep it up, you're two thirds of the way there, you got this.

Yes I totally agree, the 1st run of week 6 just totally threw me and I struggled to run the last 5mins. Today was so much better and now looking forward to my run 3.

I could have carried on running today ๐Ÿ˜

I always run really early on a Sunday which I love as not many people around and everything seems so fresh ๐Ÿ˜
