When you step out the back door and you're almost blown over by the wind, you know you'll have your work cut out. Of course it means help one one, and hinderance the other.

I intentionally aimed for a better pace than Monday, and got it. I ran properly for the last two minute as well, something I'll continue to do and hopefully extend when I consolidate. Finished a hair shy of 4k. Had I known, I'd have walked faster at the end. On track for 30 minutes next week, looking forward to Friday!

Great, you'll get your pace in good time. Running in windy conditions is never easy. Friday will be a breeze 😂

Well done for battling the elements... builds character as my old PE teacher used to say pushing us cross country in the biting Yorkshire winter... not that I’m suggesting you need more character btw! Good luck Friday.

Thanks! It's gonna get worse before it gets better too. Hopefully I'll graduate in time for Easter. 😀
