W6R3 done yesterday morning

And I managed to keep running for the full 25 minutes. There were a couple of times when I wanted to stop but I was determined to keep going and I'm so happy that I did. I feel it's a big achievement, and the goal of running for 30 minutes now seems to be within reach. I should finish the program by the end of January.

W7 starts tomorrow - I'll run the same route as I did for this run, as it will be interesting to compare results.

It's good to compare your own runs. But don't compare yourself with others. Maybe on another day try to reverse your route to give yourself a change.
