Ok let me explain this confusing title... Ok today was supposed to be my w8r3, but I ended doing more and I didn't realise I was running more than the intended 28 minutes. This is the first time I have done in the morning. OMG I am converted, sunrise and scenery breathtaking.... I am in Spain so I wasn't too bad heatwise... I could have run more, but I stopped as I was afraid for any injuries I may get it. On the flip side, I can finish 4k in 30 minutes if I run slightly faster, which I can achieve! Yayyy!!!

Wow! Perfect running mentality to stop... and a great great run. 2 minutes over on that last run isn’t going to hurt and now you absolutely know you got 30... so even more than with most runners I can wish you a wonderful victory lap, or as the app insists on calling it, week 9.
