W8R3 - The one where i get my ass kicked

So when i started this, i wasn't fit at all, but I was far fitter than my significant other, who's done the whole thing alongside me. As a consequence, i've been more than happy to let her set the pace.

Today though, after about 5 minutes, I was feeling okay, but sweating more than usual. After about 14 mins, at halfway, i realised we were going a bit faster than usual. At five mins to go, she upped the pace again, and all five foot four of her accelerated into the distance. At one minute, she sped up again, leaving me having to break into a near sprint not to fall too far behind. I'm very much proud of her.

Great job guys... Leadfoot, very good job completing a run outside your comfort zone... Mrs Leadfoot... speaking as a guy, we all need our asses kicking from time to time, well done you!

Leadfoots... enjoy the victory lap that is week 9... and celebrate on that podium well.

I think so, quite looking foward to no more increases for a couple of weeks afterwards though!
