WooHoo. Did it.

Having had a wobble on run 2 I can definitely recommend failing . When you know the disappointment of not quite getting there, you're much more motivated to get on with it. A lot can go through your head in 20 minutes but, for me, thinking that I'm going to feel rubbish for the rest of the day if I don't finish is a real motivator.

Anyway failing is only failing if you don't learn from it!

Learning that you *can* and *will* pick yourself back up after not completing a run is valuable!
