Tortoise and the hare

Slow progress but progress is progress... 2 months in and I'm onto week 5, did the 2nd week 5 run yesterday - 2x8mins - the first one was tougher than the second, I thought, but me and the dog did it anyway! I'm the tortoise, the dog is the hare.

Loving finding new places to run, and having found a place, seeing how much further I get on each run... makes for a longer walk back, but the dog's loving it (I know, I could turn round at the half way point, but that's not the point).

Your post made me smile as that is me and my dog too! Although on week 6 run 3 today after 20 minutes he just lay down and looked at me as if to say you can't be still going! He gave me 20 metres then flew past me😆
