W9R2 - full of cold

So I woke up this morning full of cold, but with graduation now so close I was determined to still get out there for W9R2. I gathered myself and set off, OMG, the 1st 5 mins of running was hard work, I got to 10 mins and seriously considered giving up for the day, but something in my head (those pesky competitive monkeys) made me slow right down and keep going. Oddly, once I got to 15 mins I got a 2nd wind, and by 20 mins I was all warmed up and ready to rock n roll... so.. W9R2 complete. Just hoping this cold shifts before R3 :-)

Nice run. Sounds like a classic case of the toxic 10... probably more noticeable because of the cold. Well done getting into your pace and through the smoother second half. Love every step of that graduation run... hopefully feeling 100%
