9 hours on my feet today, could barely keep awake, thinking all day that I would do week 2 R2 but in my head sort of thinking well, if I don't do it today I could do it another day. But I know myself, and I know that the first time I put it off will be the beginning of me giving up on myself yet again. So, even though I finished work late and wanted to do nothing else but sit down, I did my run around the field at work. No-one to see me struggling along. I was pretty pleased with myself, it wasn't easy but there were a couple of moments when I was actually running. I did an extra minute at the end just to impress myself and was very tired but so pleased by the time I got in the car to go home. I think I will sleep a bit tonight, I am totally tired.

Well done. You get there just one run at a time. Glad you felt positive at the end and hope you get that good night's sleep.
