W5 R1 - can't believe I'm doing it!

I know it is early in the program and I have (much) bigger runs to tackle this week, but I actually forgot I was running during one 5 minute run yesterday - I stopped thinking about how long until it's over and am I still breathing and instead my mind wandered off to looking for the kingfisher as I passed the river, so that the end of the 5 minutes arrived out of the blue! Amazing!

Yaay. It's brilliant when it comes together like that. Sometimes it happens quite often for a while and then becomes elusive again. So now you have something else to look forward to and experience - the runner's high. You're well on your way to gaduation now 😄

Not what you're looking for?
