So off I went wed morning(suppose to be tuesday but hid under the duvet) , thought about starting again at week 1,but where's the challenge in that I thought , kids with grandparents while off I trotted to the park facing their house , luckily at 8.30on a half term hardly anyone in sight -a good job as a panting , swearing , sweating , red face loon was on the loose. I set off slow and steady , thinking oh this isn't too bad , perhaps I haven't lost my touch , 5minutes later I got hit by reality with a thud as I slowly hobbled and panted around the park counting down to the final second before doubling over and nearly collapsing. Well at least it's done and I'm back ! Woken this morning feeling like my legs gad been run over then remembered why-at least this time round I know it gets easier and more fun. Roll on week 5.2

Well done for not succumbing to the lure of the duvet, and really well done for managing to go straight to run 5 after a fairly long break. :)
