W9run1, feeling frustrated

Well, I braved the weather and drove to the seaside and set off for my 30 min run, culmination of all the weeks feeling a bit stiff and nervous

Got to 15 min and turned back, gone a lot further than on my 28 min run last week on the same route

Was getting a bit tired and dispirited, self doubt creeping in and I realised that Michael hadn’t given me an update for a while. The app had paused with 14 min to go, probably because my headphones came out...

So I ran to where I started from, so I can only assume I ran for 30min as I wasn’t getting faster

Feel a bit cheated as I wanted to hear him say I’d done it

You did do it, well done, you kept going and covered the distance you intended. Better luck on the app next time
