W5R2 in the bag

With trepidation I awoke at 5.40 this morning and was out of the house just before 6. Trepidation because I feel like I’m getting a cold - sore throat and headaches, but the legs and lungs felt ok so I thought go for it.

The run was fine 8 minutes didn’t seem that long compared to how long five minutes seemed last week.

There is also something quite pleasant running through the commercial streets of York with the shop lights and Christmas lights on but hardly a soul around.

Roll on W5R3

That's brilliant - I know it's amazing how a few minutes more each time is achievable. Seems impossible at the start but each run is progress and you are getting stronger 👏👏
