well that wasn’t pretty or enjoyable πŸ˜‚ work demands meant I ended up putting off run till 4:30, so darkness it is. Searched and found body torch not used for years but still working , ah! needs charging- ok careful run around local well lit streets then. Not even half way through and aftershokz died! So I had to make do with Steve Cram on loud speaker on my phone, and some funny looks from people I passed. Legs aching as I did not do my proper warm up stretches. Naughty.

So a complete tech and prep fail but you know what - I did it! I completed week 4 πŸ™‚ and I am chuffed with that. Now where’s the bath salts..

Ugh, I feel this. I'm just starting my week 4 and the weather is giving me doubts. I feel more motivated hearing you made it through!
