W5R2 done but ...

.... I was nearly scuppered on the final few minutes of the second run section. I ended up doing the knackered runners mantra of "just get to that tree. Well done me. Now just get to that bend ". I aim to redo this run next Tuesday after the upcoming excesses I will be enjoying at my son's wedding this weekend. Then fingers crossed the 20 minute milestone will be here. Am I ready for this? Might get an ambulance on standby!!!

Well done PeaBea, I love your mantra! Enjoy the wedding and all the excesses and best of luck for the 20 minute run - you will be fine, the programme works and the training you've done so far will have prepared you. :-)

You CAN do it! Some weeks are tougher than others but you will do 20 minutes. Enjoy the euphoria when you achieve it! Keep running!
