I put this off for an extra day as I was really tired for a couple of days- even had long afternoon naps in two consecutive days!!then this morning I slept in again until 9.00- dunno whatโ€™s going on there as Iโ€™m usually an early riser.

So it was about 11.30 before I finally set off, after a false start when I had to go back for my watchโ€ฆโ€ฆ but it was a lovely warm morning - just as well as it was blowing a gale!! I tried a different route this morning but no matter which way I went the wind was blowing in my face, it made the run seem a lot harder but my breathing was fine and my hip and ankle were fine and it really didnโ€™t seem like a 25 minute run at all!!!

At the moment I am looking forward to the next one but that might change ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Been there! How on earth can the wind constantly be in your face all round the running route? It seems so unfair! It sounds like it didnโ€™t stop you having a great run. Congratulations!
