Three score & ten runs for 8 mins twice

Feeling just amazing and very pleased with myself having just done W5R2. Was a little nervous beforehand but Laura was right as always. Actually I wanted to, and felt able to, start running before the rest period was up, but decided Laura knew best. I sped up a bit when she said only! sixty seconds left and still had a little left in the tank. Actually felt I was on a cloud as I ran the final section, very surreal. Let's hope it continues. Thanks again Laura- you OK for Saturday's run?!

Great run... nice discipline too, listening to Coach is a must, that’s why she’s there... power finish, juice to spare... take that W5R2!

Hope Laura is ready willing and able on Saturday, because her runner is. Enjoy.

Thanks, but I think Laura may be multi-timing me. I will however enjoy her company while it lasts. 😄
