Why is the first run the hardest? Thought I wouldnโ€™t complete. Didnโ€™t have my husband with me this morning, just Jo. Got in to it but misjudged returning back home... last 5 min run on an incline ๐Ÿ™ˆ. Hey ho, was my longest distance of the 3 this week ( only small gain) so take that as a positive.

Wk 5 on Sunday eek

Thatโ€™s true, thanks. I kept thinking only 5 more mins left, which helped a lot.
