And that's Week 2 done...

...and I cannot really believe it went over so fast!

I got up and running straight after a 2-hour nap today for Run 3. And thank God I did! At first I did the usual debate in my head. But I knew that if I wouldn't go now, I would either have to run in the dark again, or push the last run of Week 2 to Monday. And I wouldn't want that. It looks much "prettier" and "cleaner" if you finish your weeks within an actual week, doesn't it?

I pushed through the "can we stop now please?" bits and made it again without cheating. But this time it was a lot harder than Run 2! Maybe the running in the dark two days ago made me more confident. And cheeky, as I thought "this isn't that hard!" a lot! I take that back. I'm actually scared about the 3 minute runs now...

But I can do this. If the first run of Week 3 will seem as "easy" as the first one of Week 2 did, I'll know I can do it and just push myself. As usual, I'm quite excited to go running again. Scared and excited. :)
