Well wk2 run 1 done. It was a little harder but I still managed it. I got a bit tricked near the end though as Laura said "you are nearly there you have another 90 seconds to do" well I thought that was the last run and I started my cool down walk after the 90 seconds run. Then when she said to start running again I thought WHAT? I was so relaxed thinking I was nearly finished I managed the last run without any bother. I will not be able to be kidded the next run though. Felt great though when I finished it.

I can remember that run... I desperately counted the 90 minutes runs (so first run to the bridge, second up that hill, third past that car, fourth.... where oh where was I? Oh, yes, now I remember...).

Well done, you weren't disheartened. Next time will be easier. :S

The question is - my hubby starts this run today - do I tell him or not *snigger*
