Moved back into the gym for my second 25mins of the week.

One of many things that went wrong for my second run of week 7.

I have been suffering with hayfever since Friday and took antihistamines today. Such a dry throat when jogging!

Sorry to hear that Roo. I suffered with a dry throat on W6R2, it was horrible.

Have a nice days' rest and you will smash it next time.

I will start again on week 7 when fully recovered, and smash it! :-)
