I found R3 of W4 the hardest of them all. If I didn't already know I could do it from the previous 2 runs, I might have given up. But I kept telling myself that the pain of not finishing was worse than the pain I was in at the time! It worked but was tough. I was feeling under the weather last night so that probably didn't help. Feel much better after the run though!

It's definitely a mental battle I find. I always seem to feel great after a run though, and I'm losing a few pounds too, so I just remind myself of this when I'm feeling the urge to collapse in a sweaty heap on the pavement!! Well done Ruth, onto week 5!

Yes well done Ruth. Running when you're under the weather is really hard.
Well done Ruth, great effort! I'm off for an early-morning Saturday start to week 5 in a minute, so may spend the rest of the weekend in a sweaty heap on the floor! See you over on the dark side (the week 5 posts). Well done again!!

I have been away for a few days but just wanted to say thanks for all your encouragement! Because of my mini holiday I was a little late starting week 5 but run 1 was ok!
