I found this tough, again it was a mind game with me and not the body (which is a surprise) but I did my 5 min walk, ran my 30 mins and did my 5 min warm down walk. I really felt at 8 mins, 14 mins that I couldn't carry on. I did and I was thrilled but boy was it tough. Only the music kept me going :-)

Haha I could have written that ;)

I had my first post-grad run today too and it was really tough. Especially because it was soo windy here today. Oh well, next one is going to be better I bet :)

Like you say, fingers crossed next one will be better ha ha.
