W5R2 Done! Had a big battle to wake up this morning but eventually got myself out there.

Hi everyone out there! Not sure I was up to this today. I'm in the middle of a very busy few days and feeling VERY VERY tired. Eventually - after a serious talk to self to stop pratting about - got out there and managed first run, no probs. Run 2 was an effort but I tried the mantra 'You CAN do this' I managed to keep in the shade which helped a lot. Last run I was disappointed when Laura said I was (only) half way. URGHHH. Could see myself running out of path so zig zagged too and fro across the rugby field and did keep going to the very end. Did plenty of good stretches as soon as I stopped and then dragged myself up the hill to home. Week 3 of S&F began playing and I did the first few exercises of that which helped my shoulders a lot. Feel good in myself (no aches or pains) but no feeling of elation at all. I suppose I'm pleased that I now realise I CAN control any demons niggling at me!

Good luck on the next run. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how manageable the 20 minute run is since you've been building up to it. Keep up the great work!
