W6R2 now smashed

I posted last week that I failed this run and not one to let things beat me I decided to have this one under my belt before heading for the 25 minutes run on W6R3. Am happy to.say that I achieved the run this evening after being away at the weekend and no running done due to bad weather and am feeling pretty chuffed with myself although half way through I was wondering how I was going to finish- but I changed my pace and my breathing became less of an issue and I felt that I could carry on without too much pain๐Ÿ˜‚

So maybe I have been running too fast me thinks!!!

Looking forward to my next run now this week and moving nearer to graduation.

Not only did I achieve the run tonight but I accidentally put my husband's trainers on to run in (thought they felt a bit big!!!) Who knows what I might achieve with the right footwear on๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Haha... maybe gait analysis isnโ€™t everything, bigger shoes is the answer!

Well done meeting the challenge of the one that got away and kicking itโ€™s butt.

And then some. The extra run will help too, so the one that got away not only gets owned, it gives you more strength and fitness to carry forward.

Itโ€™s well hidden... the โ€œfailureโ€ fills the head, but in reality you got most of a run in, or even if you burn out 5 minutes in, its 5 minutes more running in the bank.

Reading your post was fun, you must be the same size or your feet must have expanded๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜‚. Well done on finishing your run. You must feel proud, which is well deserved.

My feet felt too small in Hubby's trainers so I did them up tighter ๐Ÿ˜‚not realising they were the wrong trainer's!!! But it was hot and my feet must have swollen a bit with running ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

But looking forward to getting my own trainers back on this week for my next run- the W6R3 eeeek!!!! Can't believe I've come this far!!
