Well today I completed run 2 of week 6 and was very happy with myself! After run 1 of this week I really wasn't sure I could do it. My boyfriend had decided he wanted to come along for a run and we took his two dogs. I mainly road run as its more even and I know what to expect but the boyfriend wanted to go through the forest. Obviously this was safer for the dogs as well, so I agreed. My boyfriend had never run with me before or had ever looked at the couch to 5k run but he kicked my butt! He beat my by quite a way and then said at the end he could have easily gone faster. This deflated me somewhat, after being so proud of myself the week before and I felt I had really come quite far. He practically walked it. He had to work when I decided to do run 2 so I was secretly quite glad.
I enjoyed run 2, i had planned a new route (a bit of road and a bit of forest) and was eager to get going. I was exhausted by the time Laura had told me to slow down and walk after my 2nd 10minutes but I had pushed a boundary I had never before. This was the first run I had recorded the distance using an app on my phone. When I looked at it, I couldn't believe it! It said 4.91km in 32mins! This was including the walks I had done as well which is making me feel very confident about run 3 on Friday :).
The only problem is the boyfriend wants to come again...
