Almost there... W9R1.

Certainly wasn’t feeling it yesterday, not a good day in work, came home feeling tired and niggly and convinced myself I wasn’t going out on a run. My wife who has been super supportive basically pushed me out of the door so off I went on my 30 min run. Started well, 10 mins in and I get a stitch, deep breaths through the diaphragm to help and it’s manageable. Laura tells me I’ve done 20 mins. This is going ok, not long to go so I check my old Fitbit for the distance as Laura tells me I’m done, 300m short of 5k so on I go and happy days, another 5k done!!

I’m so glad I went, the power of 30 mins mental freedom is great. As a reward we had homemade pizza 🍕, yumm!!! Onwards to R2, maybe Thursday!!
