There’s just a 5-minute difference between Week 8-2 and 8-3 of Runday.

Today marks the longest run of my life. Every time I do Runday, I keep breaking my own records!

I never imagined that running for 25 minutes could be so easy and fun. I used to dread those long-distance runs in school; they seemed like a huge deal back thenㅠ!!

Honestly, I still don’t quite understand why running is so enjoyable or why I’m so hooked. I still can’t understand the reason why I love it so much.

But today, my heart rate shot up too much. Maybe it’s because I went running after the boxing class.
or maybe yesterday, my body felt heavy and uncomfortable—maybe that carried over to today.

To make matters worse, my Apple watch didn’t track accurately today. The treadmill and my watch showed quite different speeds and distances. I thought I was going to earn the Fastest 5km badge from Apple fitness. but I didn’t. How did past me run faster than me today?

Anyway, I’m eager to finish 8-3 so I can move on to the next challenge! I’m having so much fun, and I’m really proud of myself. I’m doing things that past me would never have even attempted.

I just noticed my cadence was slower than usual today. Could that be the reason that my Apple watch didn’t track accurately? Or maybe the tracking was off, making my cadence look slower too?
