Well that was a terrible run I never made it through maybe it was too hot maybe because I wasn’t feeling 100% but I made it through to 20 mins and just run out of steam😒

I will try again on Thursday

I had the exact same experience on the same run this afternoon. I got through, but it wasn’t pretty. Let’s hope we both have a better run next time out 🙂

Fingers crossed. We can do this 🙂

We sure can 🙂 we’ve done the hardest part - getting off the couch and out the door! Although I’m going to have to do it with my fingers uncrossed if that’s ok... it’s strange, and I don’t know if anyone else gets this, but my fingers seem to swell up when I run, just the end pointy bits... 🖐🏻 they go rock hard. 😬

Hi Sammie, don’t worry or be put off. Everyone has runs which go pear shaped for lots of reasons. Being hot or off colour sound like two very good reasons to me. Rest and recover and you will be fine next time. 😀

I failed at attempt one. Managed attempt 2. 20 minutes is still good.

20 minutes is still something to be very proud of 😊 Good on you for just getting on and rescheduling! You can do this 👊💪
