8 minute run times W5R2

The 8 minute runs today were actually enjoyable after the initial 3 minutes. I felt like I could just keep going but stopped myself so I could stick to the program.

I just did wk 5 r2. Must admit I was dreading it but actually I was sorry there were only 2 x 8 mins. I keep going by reminding myself that in wk 1 r1 I couldn't have overtaken a 3-legged tortoise. I'm still slow but I just want to keep going.

I am still quite slow but I know what you mean. I could have kept going for a lot longer
