Tough end to week 8

Another week completed! First 2 runs were pretty good, but just finished the last one and found it tough going. I didn’t sleep well last night and also didn’t have time to go for the run this morning so had to go tonight when I was tired, hungry and hot. If there was ever a run I was tempted to give up, it was this one! Breathing seemed really hard work, and I practically crawled home for the 5 minute warm-down walk! But at least I persevered and did it (and even ran a little bit further than normal in the 28 minutes). Think I will just peg it down as a “bad” run (even though I completed it anyway) and try to do all my runs in future as early morning ones!
