W6R1 - Tough going

After achieving week 5 run 3 I figured W6R1 would be easy!! Ha ha ha! Despite knowing I needed to keep it slow and steady I sped up a bit and so found this much tougher than it needed to be.

Well at least I did it - mental strength is improving - last leg was a snails pace but kept the jogging motion going.

I got to my final walking stage whilst still on the last run section so decided to alter my route slightly - moved from pavement to a grassy field to do a loop - big mistake - uneven and soggy made the last 2 minutes feel like I was running in treacle.
