That was blooming hard, very slow. Maybe I should have left it another day as I was tired when I set off. But I did it, have to admit though it was more of a shuffle for the last 10mins. Should I put it down as one of those practice runs.

No.. you did it. :)

Slow is fine, really.... just concentrate on finishing the run. :)

If you were tired and you feel you want to do it again.. you should, for your own peace of mind, but if you went for the 30 minutes.. well done !

No, tick it off. You did it and that's what matters. Onto the next one!

You ran it, and you kept going for 30 mins, so that counts. W9R2 beckons next! I did that one yesterday, and, like your W9R1, I found it slow going, but it still counts! Graduation is so close for us both!

Put it down as a run. There's no Spanish inquisition or Stewards inquiries for style here. I would describe my running more like a push and glide. Really confuses the dogs walking round my lake. They are not sure if it's worth chasing a "glider" and at a speed sometimes not much faster than a dog can walk.

You completed it so it is not a practice run. Only two to go and then you graduate. Good luck.

Not what you're looking for?
