Lots of positives!

Well, I'm into the final week of the Kick Start programme now.  This quote was shared the other day and it has been certainly ringing true for me!
I just happened to come home and read this after a very trying interval training session.  For this session I was running at fast speed for 3 minutes and then having 60 seconds of recovery.  I'll be honest and say that I struggled but at the same time I'm proud that I did it.  And it was the programme that kept me going with it.  See, if someone else sets me the challenge or the task for the day I have this feeling of not wanting to let them down so I try my best to achieve it!  And I really have had some challenges.  I completed my second time trial and ended up a whole 5 seconds fast than the first one!!!!
I was just so stoked with this time! And now today I was challenged to some hill work.  90 seconds running up hill and then jogging down again.  I did it.  Yes I walked a little of some of the uphills but I got the whole 8 I needed to do in and here is my evidence of this run:
I have really been enjoying my running lately.  Having a real focus to it has been the best thing.  And it seems that it just keeps on getting better too.  It seems I have managed to get a running buddy for some of those long weekend runs.  This is certainly going to help and make some of those runs just a little more fun.  I'm sure more will come about this in the future.  For now, I'm just celebrating in the success of completing the challenges I have been set but also looking looking forward to tomorrow's rest day.
