Man that was tough today, sweat is running off me like you wouldn't believe.

I keep telling myself it's due to my son being ill and not sleeping last night so I'm tired, but I did it and that's the main thing.

So, onwards and upwards R2 on Wednesday and I'm going to make sure I'm well rested and ready.

Well done on succeeding when you weren't 100%. :-)

Thanks for that 😊.

I don't like set backs so I forced myself to get it done, I dropped off a little midway through the last 5 minutes but when Jo said "60 we seconds left" I was able to step it back up a notch.

That's really impressive. I bet you feel really proud of yourself.

I am, I really didn't think I'd have it in me today, it was sheer bloodymindedness and determination that got me through today. The way I see it is that was my biggest challenge so far and I passed so bring it on C25K, I'm ready....... After I've had a nap lol

Well done Burrows79 sound like you dug deep and found something extra. You have the mind of a runner, if not yet the mileage!

I don't recall ever having to dig that deep for anything, but I was put there and determined by the second run that I was going to get it done.

And while it certainly wasn't my best run so far, it will probably be the one I come back to in my mind when the gremlins show their heads again

Not what you're looking for?
