littlealbatrossFirstly, a link to an article I think is really interesting/important: Small Wins and Long Term Running Success. I think it's important for me to stop and appreciate any small gain with a goal I'm struggling with because I tend to be so focused on the end result, so this is a great article to reference.
And, in the spirit of the article, a quick cheer for myself: our last leg on the Couch to 5k was one where we ran 3 minutes at a stretch, and I did fine for the first leg and really struggled with the second, but even with the second the good news is that I developed a sort of running mantra that actually did help to motivate me to keep going. Small victories!
