Tough one

OMG that was tough W4R2. The last 5min run was awful. My rythm had gone, breathing was all over the place. Really struggled. Slowed everything down and felt better for the last minute or so. ' I did it ' Battled on and got it in the bag. Feeling very tired but well chuffed. Excited to have had the courage (strong word) to push to the end. Onwards and upwards. We CAN do this. ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

Tough? Yes. Tougher than you? No! Well done. Everyone has a bad run now and then, but you kept going and nailed it. Keep going and good luck!

That digging deep and finding the inner strength to finish what you started is a victory. Yes we can do this... youโ€™re living proof. Way to go.
