First non horrible run!

Today actually went ok. Still at same steady pace as always got the 5k, but today it didn't hurt as much. Dunno if it was me getting fitter, the weather being cooler, or the funny podcast distracting me , but it was better! Hopefully finding it less horrible will mean I might start to get a bit quicker!

Sort of know what you mean, I still feel like I have to psych myself up if I'm going out to run 5K, even though I'm actually managing it 3 times a week (from a complete non-start a few months ago). Hopefully, at some point, I'll be able to just go out and do it, and more importantly, actually believe that I can do it!
