Yesterday, running that first full 8 minutes--HOLY COW!!! Wasn't sure I was gonna make it, but I did! When i thought I'd be flagging, I slowed my pace and DEFINITELY made sure to breathe in and out deeply--that truly helped me!! On the second 8 minutes, I thought Laura would never say you're halfway there!!! But I did the full run...now, tomorrow (due to my schedule and being committed to getting my runs in), I will be running on a different run path, there will be a couple slight hills...I'm kinda anxious and excited to run this because it will be more challenging than the flat nature path I've been running on. Wish me luck, all!

Good luck ! Try to pace yourself so you've got a bit in reserve for the hills - I find it's nice to have a change of route, much more interesting which makes it less of a mental slog.
