Where did it go wrong

Laura, this has been building up for a while now, I feel we need to talk.

It's been 4 weeks now & at first i thought I'd found the woman of my dreams, your were great, there for me when I needed you & I feel as if I gave you my all. But recently I feel your trying to change me.

Take last week for instance, I worked hard, let's face it 3 mins is a long run for me, you told me I was great & I'd done so well. Now only a few days later you dismiss the 3 min run as a casual jog & expect 5 mins, twice!

I'm not sure I can go on like this, you just want more, more, more, I'm not sure I have much more to give. I will crack on this week but seriously week 5 needs to be a bit easier. Don't spoil it, we have something great going on here, I'd hate to have to have to send a dear John blog.

Anyway W4R1 done.

HaHa hope your running is as good as your creative writing you'll be fit for the next Olympics no bother ;) Love your sense of humour. Keep up the good work (running and writing)

I'm not sure what has me hooked the most, my running or my writing, but it's working

Sometimes Laura is just a bitch, you have to accept this.

Love this blog, cheered me up on a very wet evening! Laura is so sympathetic one minute and cracks the whip the next - my particular grouch is when she suggests we speed up a bit for the last minute....Hmmmm. (Not possible, in my case. I tried it once and wished I hadn't! ). The thing is, you keep going so that you don't let her down, it's strange but true!

Lol I've just done run 1 of week 3. I think my running is more of a walk and still can't imagine 5k!!

Laura also tells lies, sorry to be the one to break it to you! In W8, she's saying the speed doesn't matter, just the distance. Durrr, if we run slowly, we'll take hours to do the distance and, sure as eggs is eggs, she won't be hanging around!!! Just thought you ought to know!
