Hey you managed it right? Nothing bad about that, it is GOOD if not GREAT. Onwards and upwards.

I did ure right....👣💪

You'll always have off days but you didn't fail just demonstrated your determination to finish. That's the impressive thing. Think of the same situation a few weeks back, would you have stopped or carried on through to the end. You're showing true grit.

Thanks Old Wheezer; ure right I didnt fail... Was slow, steady but determined! 😘

Amazing how much pressure we feel when doing a run in front of other runners / dog walkers / teenagers / traffic queues / people at bus stops!!! Just keep on at your own steady pace and hold your head up. I'm sure people aren't noticing or judging as much as we think.

Ure so right Rachel this is y I train at my community gym-I hope when summer comes I will have shrugged off my self doubts and be 'running' along our shore x

I think peeps at the gym are pretty self absorbed iykwim - not paying any attention to anyone but themselves - except maybe for the muscle guys in the sep section

We all have harder/easier runs - you had a hard one but still completed it - hold your head high and be proud

All those runners at the gym had to start somewhere. Plus they don't know anything about you - you could be an ex-marathon-runner recovering from injury or whatever. Keep your head up and do your thing

I will the-tea-fairy.... Back tomorrow for the next run x
