Did this run early this morning . First 8 minute run i found breathing hard, second 8 min legs felt very heavy !! But got to the end .πŸ˜€ Something happens to time i start out oh no i can't do this; then my brain sort goes off somewhere (Probably because i am busy thinking about breathing /legs ). And before you know it you are nearly there ....weird . W5R3 on Sunday ...we will see what happens .

I bought some shoe inserts for Achilles tendonitis, which takes the pain away when I wear them, but still hurts in bare feet or withoug inserts.

Plan is to try an run on Tuesday. Fingers crossed.
