Great attitude, but you don't give us any analysis of what it was that stopped you from completing the run.

Good luck for Monday.

Good point! Although going at snails pace (really .... any slower I'd be walking) I just couldn't catch my breath around 12 mins ... combined with a slight incline, heavy legs and losing the argument in my head, I walked. I can catch my breath back in 30 seconds and set off 'running' again,but by then I've already walked, so when it all happens again 5 mins later, I walk again. The curry and wine last night + a sore throat this morning didn't help! I wasn't going to run but if the past is anything to go by, I could be ill with chest infection soon so I wanted to go while I still could!

Well.. you ran with a bit of extra baggage there... so.. well done for heading out!

Snail's pace is the totally best thing.. as the original Grey Snail... take my word for it:)

Just pat yourself on the back... rest up, and on Monday.. warm up well, take it as slow as a slow snail on a go slow... and enjoy completing the run :)
