I am SO chuffed with myself!

I struggled with the first two runs of week 8, and was dreading today. I thought I'd try something new and use the mapmyrun app over MY music as I found the week 8 music so monotonous.

Although I struggled a tad with my breathing during the middle of the run, I had mapmyrun timing me every five minutes....got to 25 minutes and thought 'shall I just wait until the next five minutes is up?' and did THIRTY minutes!

Pace was 5.52 min/km and I did 5.21 kilometres.

WOO HOO! Bring on week 9! With some decent music this time??!!

Makes all the difference. I gleefully deleted the podcasts to symbolically mark that I would never to have to listen to You and Julie ever again.
