Started Week 8 - The start of better things.

After struggling so much with week 7 I decided a change of scene might be just the thing so body and I got up early and headed for the car. A short trip later we arrived and started our run.

We had the path through the wood all to ourselves. There were a few more inclines than I was expecting. This run was the 1st time I found the podcast annoying. When Laura told me I'd done 5mins it really threw my pace and I was only just settling at that point. So we had to settle in started all over again. At 14mins I realised I wasn't going to make it round without a comfort break so we had to stop for a couple of minutes. Again the pace was ruined, grrr.. Still ok I thought we can do it. Let's go for a 60sec sprint. Great I thought I can do this only to get round the corner and hit a really steep incline. Darn and Blast back to walk.

So we didn't complete the podcast. I think I could have without the 5min warning, the loo break and the darn incline. Having said all that I really enjoyed the run. Watching the sun come up over the lake, and seeing the squirrels running up the trees was wonderful. Personally I'm putting this one down as a good run, in fact it was an excellent run and I've been on a high all day.

Well done Anna. Runs like these are actually great for stamina building, and the fact you enjoyed it is even better.

Well done for making it to week 8. Only 5 more runs, you can do it!
