So chuffed! Wk4 R1

Just finished Wk4 R1 and I can't quite believe I did it! If you had told me just over 3 weeks ago that I would be able to run for 5 minutes without stopping I would have laughed at you and a total of 16 minutes would have been unbelievable! I was very tired on the last run and when Jo said there was a minute to go I was disappointed because I thought it was the end but I did keep on going. My music was stuck in a loop and I didn't want to fiddle with it in case I wiped my running progress but it was playing Imagine Dragons On Top of the World and as I was tiring the lyrics said "I've tried to cut these corners, tried to take the easy way out, I kept falling short of something. I coulda gave up then but then again I couldn't have cause I've travelled all this way for something." Very appropriate for me and it encouraged me to keep going! 🙂

Just finished that run, it was tough. I liked week three with its long walks, this was a sharp shock. I hope it gets easier with the second and third run!
