Well I won't pretend I didn't feel like stopping several times - but I didn't give in to the temptation, and I completed the full 20 minute run.
I even upped my pace for the last minute or so.
Sadly I just crept over the 6 minutes per kilometre mark by 5 seconds, which is really frustrating!
But 3.29 kilometres in 20 minutes is encouraging, I think. Plenty of time to improve on pace.

Ha ha - had to delete my precious comment because I wrote something embarrassingly stupid What I originally said was:
Well done - we knew you could do it The pace will come later. [All good so far]
Then I wrote: Never mind about the 6km/hr barrier - you will break through that next time.
6km/hr??? What I meant to say was 6 mins/km. I'm going to go for a coffee now. I think I need one.
all the best with your next run!

Sometimes it feels like I'm only running 6km/hr!
Thanks for making me laugh though!
