W6r3..i just ran for 25 minsL!

Well..if you can call it running, still a shuffle jog at a snail pace. Had been looking forward to this after a great run on Sunday (am now wondering if being away from my usual location and being marginally lost added to that excitement). This time was hurting even before the first 10 was over, and when Sarah told me i had done 12.5 mins i nearly cried and gave up. Doubled back into the wood rather than up the hill, thinking that my amended goal should be to at least get to the 20 mark and plodded on towards that with grim determination . And then from out of nowhere shes saying ive reached the 20. I charge up the hill as dont want to have a 15 min warm up walk and im now well behind on my route...through the other park,and now just in time to stop before the main road crossing, she's saying ive made it. PHEW. This one was the closest ive got to giving in though. So glad i didnt.

Well done for keeping on. The heat is a killer.

Well done! That’s a biggie! My run this morning (W7R2) was hard. It was very warm even at 6.30 am but I got there! R3 Thursday then only two more weeks - cannot believe this is happening!

Well done, I did the same run today and wasn’t quite sure where I was going to end up either - I think the distraction helps!
