So today i decided it was time to step up and give week 4 a go. I've been running week 3 for a while now, its not getting any easier. I'd looked ahead and could see that week 4 is a big step up from week 3, so wasn't sure whether to try it or not.

My knees have been giving me trouble the past few days so i wasn't expecting to complete it but i decided to give it a go.

I go out in my lunch hour to a local park.to do my running. When i left the office it was bright and sunny. I got to the park and the heavens opened. Hail, sleet and possibly snow. I figured this was a sign. So.i sat there trying to decide what to do. I made my mind up to leave and out came the sun.

So off i went week 4 here i come. I have shocked myself by completing it first try. I have been in such a good mood this afternoon and thats because of my achievement. Its amazing how this running can lift your spirits.

Hey, well done Yebam, that's brilliant. Reading your post you'd given yourself plenty of reasons to abort the run but you didn't. You not only went out and started it, but yu finished it as well, no wonder you've been in a good mood all afternoon, that is a brilliant achievement.

Not what you're looking for?
