Dear Laura, I apologise...

Dear Laura,

I apologise for swearing at you so much during my last run. But, you telling me that I am doing well when panting like an asthmatic hugging the car exhaust... ooooh! I did hate you, and more than once this morning!

I know it’s all my fault, I felt so good about finishing my last run of week2 and maybe went a bit too fast on the first 90 seconds. But I still don’t understand, all the previous runs went OK, not amazing, it was hard, but this was another level of hardness! Why? I’ve done this run twice already. In the same location.

I even felt like punching you, as I am sure you cheated a couple of times: there was definitely less than 2 minutes in between my 3rd and 4th run! Oh, yes I am sure.

Anyway, Laura, I hope that you did not mind too much all the various names I called you and I promise to try and control myself next time. Will you be kinder? I have the feeling you won’t.

But you know, one last thing Laura, you should be proud as I did not stop. I ran when you told me to. Walked when you told me to walk and I have done it, I finished week 2!

I guess, I’ll see you for week 3 run 1, won’t I? That one will be hard, I warn you now. I’m going out tomorrow to celebrate my birthday with friends. I guess I deserve it a bit. I’ll try to go easy on the bubbles.

See you then!

Lol, your post did make me giggle. I also swore at her at week 3. Now I'm too exhausted to swear ;-))

I didn't like when she started going on about the breathing!!

I've just thought away you can make it up to her....keep going!

Yes you made me laugh too, i have said a few things to her under my breath, just so you know even though I dont understand either but some of the runs seem harder even when you have already done the other two, keep going, I felt like you, and have just finsihed week 9 first run, thought I would never get there, but I still find it tough at times.

This made me laugh too. I am glad some of you have said that even when you have done the other 2 runs on that week the last one can feel harder. I have finished week one today and did find it harder today than the other days. I am very pleased with myself that I have had the willpower to keep going and hope I can keep it going.
