So I wonder now whether it is a Good Thing to invite a friend to start the Programme at the same time as I am puffing along on W4,R2?
It was lovely to have the company, but while she (fitter than I, that's for sure) jogged along cheerfully for 90secs, I took off like a bullet for my first 3 mins, because I thought I should....BIG MISTAKE!
Then I was so hot that I had to take my jacket off, causing me to drop my phone and lose Sarah's voice for at least 30 secs, aaargh!
Thus flustered I lost the route and we ended up (friend happily following behind) repeating the same path twice, in a glorious Pinetum where I usually follow the beauty of the lakes.
By the time I reached the last 5 min run, my legs felt as if they were someone else's, but I was not going to give up...no way.
This was hard and the moral is, I think, threefold: do not start too fast, do not put phone in jacket pocket and stop showing off to your friend, whose laughter rang out across the wood.
