Well after the success of the last one this one has broken me. Ran a different route round streets and paths and up and down slight inclines. Found it really hard. Nearly gave up halfway through but nope kept going. And there was lots of cars and people about which I hate. Anyway pushed me out my comfort zone and knocked 1min 30secs off my mile time. Now to get this damn sports bra off which is harder than the bloomin run!

Sounds to me like you did really well.

Of course it's getting tougher but you are doing it, so well done you.

Being outside your comfort zone is good.........every now and then.

Thank you I was so out my comfort zone running round the streets in a largeish town when it was a sunny night but I needed to do it.

Nearly but it didn't.... the bras however, I really think we need a scoring table so we can rank them... that is my new challenge I think. You did a pb as well.... how brilliant is that?

Very well done ! It does get harder, but as IannodaTruffe says, you get stronger.

PS

Husbands are great to help with the sports bras:)
