That horrible moment you realise .........

Well, there I was merrily (well maybe not merry!!) jogging along and 2 minutes from finishing my last run of week 7. The horrible realisation dawned that I did this run on Thursday and I should be doing 28 minutes, I could have cheerfully wept!!! The thought of running for another 5 rather than 2 seemed impossible, it was flipping hard but I did it - just and very slowly!!! Can hardly believe I've come this far in 7 weeks, not finding it easy but I'm hanging on in there. Thank you to everyone for the brilliant support.

Well done. I always try to tell myself "no run is a bad run, any run beats sitting on the couch!"

Thanks all, after I finished I was glad I'd kept going but at the time I was using rather colourful language!!

Well done on finishing that run. Sometimes you just have to grit your teeth & keep going. I know on occasions I only finish a run because I'm a stubborn old mule & refuse to let myself stop!
