W4R1 Phew!

Krrrrissstt!! That was hard. Halfway through the first 5 minute segment I was sure I had run for 4 minutes and was waiting for the 1-minute-left words of encouragement. When the invitation to walk came after what felt like two minutes and 31 seconds, I was down to the last step in my system anyway. Now I was halfway through the session and had been going downhill figuratively and literally. The return trip was uphill and I had nothing in the tank. But do it I did up to the very last gasp and step. One day of rest and it'll be W4R2, the same thing again, at work before nightshift.
