W5R3 - Be Encouraged

Did Week 5 Run 3 this morning, in fairly wet and windy weather, feeling a little daunted, so I just wanted to reassure anyone in the same position that it did turn out to be way easier than I expected. It wasn't *quite* continuous because I had to cross a busy road but I kept jogging on the spot. Distance seems to have been about four km.

Only just seen this, sorry. Hope it worked out well for you. I've been finding that these longer runs are a lot less arduous than I expected them to be.
