Week 5 Run 2..phew!

[Runforurlife]

Well, the day of Week 5 run 2 dawned for me this morning. I was wary of what was to come as I knew Week 5 consisted of 3 different runs, "how long were we going to run for today? eek" It was cool and damp but not raining, thank goodness. The wind was gusty.. On the brisk warm up walk, I felt all manner of issues..is that my back about to twinge? is that my knee playing up? do I need the loo.... And then it was time. TWO runs of 8mins...and then I forgot what Jo said. Oh crikey, can I do this... I got my music muddled up at the start of the first run which set me off my pace a bit but I got down to it. Felt ok...Jo announced I was halfway.. ok not feeling too springy now.. Almost stopped when Jo came on to say "that's excellent! ...You've got 60secs to go!" UGH! Slog... Well, I enjoyed that 5min walking break.. I did wonder if I'd get my breath back for the second run... Off I went again thinking, "another 8mins, really? what was that Jo said about going faster if you can" I varied my route a bit to keep going. Got to the next walking break. I did it! I was gearing up for the next run only to be told that was it for the day!!!! haha. I almost squealed with relief. Anyway, felt good at the end and glad that is done. It's certainly ramping up now. Happy running today everyone x
