Accident with the wrong week :D

Today I planned on repeating W7R2 with Duck this morning. Somehow I selected W8R2 instead - not sure how that happened, obviously I was more sleep addled than usual this morning. I wasn't listening to Michael - standard, I only pay attention to him when he tells me my walks and run are over. But yeah I did 28 mins and it felt mostly good, little twingy in places but I'm going to chalk this up as one of my favourite runs. Back to 25 mins on Sunday to complete week 7 but I an not fearing next week at all now. Holy crap I ran for 28 mins!! I couldn't do 8x1 minute runs on the 12th of September...madness!!

Duck and I ran separately today he took off and was usually half a lap of the park ahead of me - I enforced electrolytes and water drinking so he had no cramping today! Success! He had a lovely little run at his own pace - which evidently is quicker than mine. Still not as fast as the lady who zoomed past us both. she was like a bullet!! to be fair I was overtaken by one walker today but plodded past two others. And I got a smile from another runner - not bullet lady but a different one. Today is a win! :D

Thanks UNM! so very sorely tempted to just go with the 28 mins again but I feel like that's cheating. I will endeavour to complete W7R3.

Yeah, every run there builds you up so I’d do them all if I was you too.

It really was. Philosophical question, how often do you enjoy a mistake? Today was that day!!
