W7R2: well, that was nice

W7R2 -- and I didn't have to slow down near the end! No runner's high, but no gremlins, either. Suddenly week 9 seems so much more possible....

I always feel guilty when I take two rest days instead of one, but then the next run feels so much easier. How do people who run every day do it?!? :)

Years of training and a lot of addiction I think. I ran some of the plan by week, so had two rest days before one of my runs... it is nice to go out there with fresher legs sometimes. Great running today.

Well done you, take as many rest days as needed . Nothing to feel guilty about you are running 25minutes non stop , isn't it amazing when you think back to wk1 😊😊
