Week 5

So our run leader decided to make our runs a little different. So after being ill last week and only managing to run twice, we were told it was going to be a 20 minute run tonight. Aarghhh the longest we had run before was 8 minutes straight. But I did it! Didn’t realise I was running for so long and before I knew it she said there was 60 seconds to go. And then we were done.

Don’t want to go to bed now feeling so pleased with myself. (Also dreading the possible aching muscles in the morning) x
