W4 R3 .... nailed it!

No it wasn't pretty. No it wasn't stylish. No it wasn't smooth.

Yes it involved a lot of shouting at Laura. Yes it involved a lot of telling no one in particular that 'quitting wont get you anything' and yes I cried.

But ... I did it and yes I'm proud of my red face. I am even more proud of the smile on the face of the male driver who passed me as I did a little victory jump in the air when I had finished. You've gotta love doing the last 2.5 mins of your workout on a main road.

This is one lady with a very large, red, grin on her face.

To all my week 4 companions, hope you had great runs and I'll see you next week :)

Thank you Friedfrog .... you'll rock. I found it hard, I wont lie, but the sense of achievement when you finish and can still stand up (and jolly well 'walk outta there') is amazing. Go get em tiger!
