that was horrible.

I used every trick in the book to coax myself through it - 3 mins was 1 tenth, 5 mins was 1 sixth etc. and the minutes, like 7 that didn't give me a nice fraction were depressing, although 7.5 mins was a quarter of the way through :D

still another one done, two more to go

Oh blimey!

I refer you to a quote I used in one of my recent posts:

Struggling is not failure...Struggling means... successfully not giving up

The trickiest bit is believing that.

You did the run... well done you! x

Thank you OldFloss, I have a head cold & allergies, I knew it was going to be bad. Glad I did it, but ugh :D

Of course, I felt a bit better after and I slept better so the results are positive as always, the one thing that stays consistent, even when the run is bad!
