Hazel did great on the first 10 minutes. I could have gone even faster, but I ran at the speed she did. On the second 10 minute interval, hazel slowed way down (like I expected her to). For the most part she stayed between 5 - 5.4 mph. A few times she dipped below 5 mph. Near the end of the second 10 minute interval I did get tired, but I made it. And actually, if Hazel hadn't held me back, I could have gone faster. But I think it was all good.
I am a little anxious about the 25 minute run on Monday. I wonder if I will be able to do it. I hope so.

You did it! Yay! I seriously cannot believe how freaking fast you run! You FLY!
You may well have a different experience from me, but all of my runs in Week 7 were just tough. But the pay off came in Week 8 and now Week 9. So if they are hard for you, just know it's a building week and you'll see the results in Week 8. So push through it.
so how bad is the 25 minute run the first time you do it??
i anticipate it being hard for me. i think i'm going to go without hazel just for the 25 minute run but then start taking her again.
oh wait - you said all your runs were hard in week 7. that's next week for me. damn.
Well, it was after Week 7 that I realized how important it was for me not to look at clock etc. If I had started that in W7 it might have been better. I think you just have to settle in for the long haul in those runs and PUSH. Know you are running a long time, go as long as you possibly can without looking at the clock, and if you start to really struggle, SLOW DOWN!
