W9R2 - practice run

Well, I can't believe I have got to W9. I also cannot believe I brought running kit on holiday - and, what's more, used it - twice! That being said, although run 1 on Monday was a success, run 2 today will need to be repeated. This was a disappointment as it is really wanted to get through this week first time. However, after the half way point I was struggling and wanted to give up. I slowed to a walk for a couple of minutes and then ran the rest.

Thinking about it, being on holiday has meant an increase in big meals and alcohol and not enough water. That is all bound to have an effect. I am aiming for a repeat on Saturday or Sunday, when I'll be back at home and running one of my familiar routes, with a view to graduating next week!
