Struggled today

Hi all,

I really struggled with this mornings jog and thought I was not going to get through it. The wind was my enemy and seemed to blow against me through most of the course. I battled on and almost gave up on the last run, but I dug in deep and found the energy from somewhere. It would have been so easy to give up, but I got throught it. Never was I so glad to hear that I was on the 5 minute cooldown, I hope Fridays jog will be better,.

Well done for sticking in there! It’s amazing what a difference the weather makes; wind against makes my legs turn to lead too

Gosh that wind is terrible. I swear I have been running backwards sometimes over the last few weeks!! Very well done you!! Part of the process I think is getting through those dark moments and coming out the other side.
