Week 3, Run 2 done - glad I got off my backside tonight

Hello all. I did week 3, run 2 tonight having not run since Sunday due mainly to the heat. Even in the mornings I found it too hot and muggy to go out. So I was a bit anxious if I would still have it in me enthusiasm and energy-wise to run tonight but having got this far, I do not want to give up. It was fine though, although I had to push myself on the second 3 minute run but got through it ok. That nice Michael Johnson even said after the second 3 minute run that he knew how I felt, possibly feeling exhausted. Nice of him, but I think he was just being kind. Can't really see him struggling after 3 mins lol.

Run 3 will be in the New Forest, weather permitting. I did'nt expect to stick with this - I have a history of all the gear, no idea, but am pleased I have persevered and I love the support of this forum

Fantastic - love that feeling when you really have to drag yourself out and you get back and you just think "Go Me!"
