Roll on week 4! After the worst run so far.

The weather was really nice today, so I thought that my last run of week 3 would almost be a walk in the park (sorry!). I've always been able to finish each run, but today was a different story. It was nice and sunny when I started, but on my last run (the 3 minute one), the gales started and the heavens opened. I really tried to run through it, but I was probably only going at a snails pace with horizontal rain smacking my face. Not fun!

I couldn't believe it when Laura said that I'd run for 2 minutes, but I ended up walking for the last wee bit. Typically, this was when the the sun came out again! I really can't win :(

I'm still excited about starting week 4, but running for 5 minutes straight seems a bit daunting!

Sure you'll be OK and get back on track. I had an awful W3R3 too but am surviving W4! Good luck.

Thank you for all the support! I know that everyone has bad days, so I guess yesterday was my first. I've been looking forward to starting week 4 all week so it'll be good to see how I cope then. Hopefully the weather improves!
