W9R2. 10 mins in I was not enjoying it. It was too hot and I couldn't find my rhythm, was going to give up as i knew i wouldn't last 30 mins...... but that was the old me and the new me thought just keep going, even if I don't finish lets see how far I can get til I collapse. I only went and bloody did it! Next run is my graduation and I am amazing.

I’ve had a couple of runs where I’ve thought that I wouldn’t be able to complete them but I always have. Never give up within the first “toxic 10”..... the next 10 minutes will be better, I promise you.
