W6R2....why was that difficult?

It was difficult, why?

I managed the twenty minute run okay, what is it that made this run such a pain (and I mean that literally) ?

My pace was maybe a wee bit faster...was that the problem?

Here's hoping that the twenty five minute run on Monday is an improvement ;)

I think it is because we all build up to that big W5R3 and then have a bad run in W6.

Mine was W6R1. I hated every step of it (I think I had a blah blah blah post on here about it).

But you know what...it was a pain and you were hating it but you stuck with it and finished. And that says a lot about you that you need to be proud of.

Focus on that rather than the run.

And for W6R3, why not just slow it down a bit? This is the home stretch.

Slow it down and enjoy the view

Thanks for the advice and encouragement, you're right - I was going to finish that run come hell or high water (to coin an old phrase).
