Wow - week 7 and week 8 - you guys are amazing! I still can't imagine running for 25 minutes in a row. Heck, I still can't imagine running for TEN minutes in a row. The five minute runs are hard enough!
Last night I did W4D2, and it was pretty awful - I think mostly because my legs were so sore and jelly-like from the squats I'd done with my husband the night before. (That's the last time I do squats for a while!) I actually ran half and then gave up and got off of the treadmill, but then I felt guilty a few minutes later, got back on and finished it. So I sort of cheated with the rest in between, but it's better than nothing, I suppose.
I guess I will just take my own advice and keep moving forward - soon (hopefully) I'll look back and laugh at when I thought five straight minutes was so hard.
I really need to go get my new shoes this week, I'm hoping they'll make a big difference in how my ankles feel during each run.
Hope everyone has a good day today
