That was tough but all my own fault. Need to get better at judging my pace. Thought I was going about the same as last time. Why was it so hard? Cursing Laura (in my head this time) reminding myself it's not her fault I chose a route that is slightly uphill at the end and she didn't make the wind blow against me on the way home. Finished the run and looked at mapmyrun to find I was going faster than last time for the whole run. Note to self - slower on Friday.

Poor Laura. She's been subjected to so many swear words over the years ☹️ but she's thick-skinned and just ignores us.

There are a hundred and one reasons why a run can be harder than another but you've done this one and that's all that matters. Well done.

I did C25K in France, so I swore out loud at Laura in TWO languages! IP is right, Laura just laughs and shrugs it off...Why was your run so hard? Well you've answered that already, uphill with the wind against you. You are a star for keeping going in those conditions, they are horrible!
