That was incredibly tough! My legs felt like lead for the last 10 mins and it was a massive mental struggle not to walk in the later stages. I don't know if it was my cold (still got it), lack of sleep or the early hour - I was finished and back home whilst it was still dark outside. Anyway, my pace was just nearly 7mins/km (under 9km/hr) for the first time in the longer runs. But I did manage to run over 4km for the first time ever and I still haven't had a F... fingers crossed for W8R2.

Well done Simon . You did it !
Keep going, you're doing great !
Onwards, always xxxx
