After yesterdays shocker and my tantrum! My poor boyfriend! Anyway, does it still count if i had to walk 30 seconds near the end? I tagged 30 secs onto it?

In my defence it is roasting down here on the south coast today (i got a sunburn hehe) aaand i did attempt to run yesterday so kiiiinda skipped a rest day?

Oh I missed yesterday's post. I'll have to go back and take a look at what happened. Don't fret about the thirty seconds. It still counts. But don't miss a rest day. Especially so close to graduation. Love the shoes btw!

Hahaha well i deffinitely meant it to hit something but not necessarily him- the door or a wall would have sufficed!

I believe you. Honest.

Well after the meltdown, well done for getting back out there and giving it another go ! It seems to have gone better....?

Yesss it went lots better thank you! I get the hiccups when i am anxious and they plague most of my runs because i get nervous about not completing them, hence i had to walk for 30 seconds as my breathing was all over the place.. but other than that, much better. Perhaps too fast as covered 4.8k accidentally so will really slow down for the next one as it was a struggle.

That's pretty fast !! You've definitly got room to be a bit gentler with yourself.

Yay!! So pleased you got back on it and smashed it. You do sound fast though, maybe slower would stop those hiccups?? Anyway - well done and go kiss the boyfriend this time!

Not what you're looking for?
