Sometimes you just surprise yourself.. I got up early and i knew what was coming.. Mike said those daunting words "25 minutes!!".. I felt good this morning my head was clear and no one about.. Slow and steady mantra in my head and off i went just one foot in front of the other and i can't quite believe i ran for 25 minutes there were a few ups and downs with stamina but then something weird happened with 60 seconds left Mike said if u feel ok up the tempo.. So i went for it like i was mo farah and felt great at the end...i do have a slight sore left shin but i have already done my stretches... On to week 7 and see where this crazy journey is taking me???.. Have a great day
