It's more satisfying when you are sure you are going to give up the whole way round and yet you still do it.

Started badly today, tailed off in the middle and the less said about the end the better.

All the way around I wanted to give up. I'm ashamed to say I swore at the friendly voice of Sanjeev Kholi when he announced that five minutes had past and I should have settled into a steady rhythm. I grimaced at some dog walkers instead of giving them my customary smile and nod of acknowledgement. At halfway I felt as if I couldn't put one foot in front of the other.

And yet somehow I got through it having done week 9 run 2 for the second time.

What does this teach me?

My brain and legs aren't to be trusted on what I can do. I have more resilience than I thought I did. I know more swear words than I thought I did.

Well done! i have frequent ‘discussions ‘ with Laura when she tells me the 3’ rest is over although clearly was shorter than the previous 90second rest... and oh are you rested now? I hope so! No I am 🤬 not. Haha. Whatever keeps us going!

I think I had the exact same run as you just now!

With DiscoRunner , it makes 3 of us having the same run today

I did parkrun this morning and so wanted to stop, the wind and rain was tough but my time was good which surprised me so I guess that’s why I found it tough, sometimes slowing a little gets the momentum back, that’s my lesson to self but proud I kept going
