W8R1 - I'm Still Standing!

It's funny how time flies when you're enjoying a rest. After surviving the 25 minute runs in W7 I was really enjoying my rest days. Then I woke up this morning to realise that am already due to run W8R1 today. 😦

After humming and ha-ring well, I made it. I just kept telling myself that it was only 3 minutes longer. "The Road and I!"

I think I need better running shoes though now.

Well done! I did that run today too! It's amazing, isn't it?

PS - buy the shoes!

Well done on the run, i did it yesterday and felt quite good about it. New shoes are well worth it, particularly if you go for gait analysis too and get some that can improve how you run. Enjoy the next few runs!
