Well done Twinkle2. πŸŽ‰. No stopping you now.

How did you find it? Was it more mental than physical or both?

Thank you Rosiepug. It was ok. Challenging in places I won’t lie but I didn’t feel it was as hard as last weeks 20 mins run.

I always have to fight mind gremlins and they appear in the first minute of running.

When do you do your R3?

Your comparison with the 20min run is encouraging. I do mine this afternoon. Fingers crossed I’ll make it! I think I might try a new route for distraction.
