Why did I think this would be any easier just because Ive graduated ๐Ÿ™„. I still kept Jo in my ear for support and timings etc. But it was hot, so hot haha. Started great but by the end I was doing a run/crawl type thing ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. But I didnโ€™t stop, I kept going and even increased my distance by 0.01 of a K ๐Ÿคฃ. So I now run 3.83k in 30 minutes. At least itโ€™s heading in the right direction ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿคช๐ŸŒ

Don't know if it gets any easier Sandie, but it might just get a little less difficult :)

Made sense in my head Sandie, but that is a weird place at the best of times ;)

Driving in snowy weather is not easy, a good driver just makes it look less difficult . . .
