W8R1 Check

W8R1 done! The first half was definitely the hardest but it seemed to get easier (Not easy though!) from then on.

Still don't feel like a runner though, I'm puffing and sweating most of the way through, thinking when does it get easier, longing for the end and thinking how on earth does anyone manage to run a Marathon.

Congrats on W8R1.

As for running a Marathon, I wouldn't know. Yet I have a good friend who does and she's quite amazed at my progress so far: from 0 minutes to 20 minutes running in just 5 weeks. People don't just become marathon runners overnight (well, most don't). We'll get there eventually, or much more likely, to 5K (which is more than adequate in my book).

Not what you're looking for?
