Wk 4 run 3 the hardest since I started, no idea why. But not unpleasant, just tough.

But it is done though so bring on Wk 5 - and no more treacle please.

Thanks, I guess you just have to accept the way it is and just carry on anyway. I ran on Monday night and felt great though, not sure why it was a struggle today. The mysteries of running...:-)
