Bye bye interval walks!

So seems it’s running for real from here on in. Not great today . Exhausting week at work and beginnings of a head cold so was definitely mind over matter to finish today but I did so that feels good. Now to see how long my face takes to resume human semblance!

Well done, legs turn to lead when I've got a cold so I'm guessing that was a tough one for you - you did it though!

Well done for finishing. Great effort to do that. I always finish as a beetroot on legs!

Seriously, I’m not majorly out of breath but my face is still red an hour later!!!

Yep that’s me to a tee. Quite frustrating as I keep thinking people must think I’m about to keel over! Running in the dark has been a good cover but lighter evenings are coming!
