week 4 still trying!

Made the mistake of forgetting to take my inhaler before setting out - disaster. *I didn't realise I actually needed it so much.

After the first 3 minute run I was nearly done for. Only managed 2 mins of the first 5 min run, 3 mins of the next 3 mins. I then gave up, took the earphones out and walked. It was actually lovely to hear the sounds all around me. I much prefered it to having the iPod on. I may try running without Laura next time and just set my phone stop watch for each section. Maybe I can distract myself more rather than counting the seconds down til the run is over!
