3+5+3+5=16!!!! Can't believe it, though I did feel like I was going to die.

Gosh that was tough, week 4, run 1. Week 3, run 3 went really well so I was feeling good starting today, but it was difficult, after the 1st 3 minutes I was struggling and had a bit of a stitch.

It's a scorching hot, but really windy day here, which didn't help but I made it. I breathed through the stitch and persevered although I think it was the hardest run I've done so far.

In conclusion, happy, happy, happy that I made it and very glad tomorrow's a rest day.

Well done! I thought the 5 min runs were difficult at the beginning of week 4 but by the end of the week they felt so much easier. The elements do make running more of a challenge, seems like every time I go for my run it's either windy or raining or too hot. :(
