Well didn't think I could do it, went out feeling a bit unsure, it was warm and I thought I got to do this no stopping unless I puke ! Well the good news I didn't puke and managed to run solid for 20 minutes. It felt brilliant at the end, then home for a shower and to cheer my wife on doing a 5K run, all in all a great day !

Yayyyyyy well done πŸ˜€

I'd like to say sounds perfect, but needing to puke nearly, that's a hurdle to overcome. Well done you on getting the infamous run done and dusted

Well done... and slow down!! Feeling sick is not good.. pull back and relax into the runs... your running legs are growing, let them take you slowly and steadily forwards :)
