Worst run yet, legs would not get into a rythm and i could not get the l right mind set. It felt like i was stuggling with the whole run but i stuck to it and was now can say that i can run for 16 minutes. (If some one said that i could run that long a couple of weeks ago, i would laugh and hide away before they could drag me out).

On to week 5 and a prayer to the running gods from better runs.

Good luck on all your runs
