Done.... but was very red afterwards, combination of warm weather and running (Ok light jog) but I did it and felt ok with it too. Then realised it's 8 minutes on next run - how did everyone find the 8 minutes?

Today was out on the streets at 8am, very quiet. Gone are my glasses of wine on a Friday night as am a changed person due do this running mallarky!!

Now sitting in swimming gallery, it's roasting and I look like I have been running again....
