Why is the first run the hardest? Thought I wouldn’t complete. Didn’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 🙈. 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

Well done and with extra bonuses...uphill and you had to rely on your very own super inner strength!

That’s true, thanks. I kept thinking only 5 more mins left, which helped a lot.
