W4R2 Dido and me go for an afternoon expedition.

I ran R1 on Sunday early morning as I usually do and managed ok the increase to 5 mins. It wasn't easy but I dug in. ( I'm a stubborn bugger I'm told) I had planned to do R2 on Tuesday morning but woke with a headache, and again this morning. Then I finished work at 5.00ish and felt pretty upbeat ( usually I feel knackered☺) so decided I would attempt R2 as soon as I got home. Dido the dog was delighted to run with me and off we went. There was a cool breeze which reduced the numbers of pedestrians to avoid and Dido and I had fun. The first 3 mins were the hardest and the final 5, of course but I did it! Then I went to a circuits class as usual on Weds ( hubby and daughter go as well) Not sure who this person is who just did this, but I feel good! Roll on Friday morning R3 and hope I get up in time😁

Something like that 😂. But dog named after the Queen of Carthage, the original one! Family tradition to use classical/mythical names for pets.....
