W7 R2: Everything went wrong... :-(

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!

Maybe I set too quick a pace? Not sure how fast I run on the road. By 10 mins in I was desperate to give up, but managed to battle the gremlins for another 5 mins then another 5, but just had to give up after 20 minutes. Feeling really disappointed...

Oh no! But you were so close. Those antihistamines can be sedating as well so I'd not worry too much, it's probably them making it tough. Least you had a go, hayfever can be miserable.

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.

Thanks for your encouragement. Sparky and Dunder.

Turns out I was full of cold the next day, so I think I can cut myself some slack for stopping 5 minutes short!

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