Well that's that done. I left off my uphill run and did streets,footpath through a field and canalside, so plenty of variety. My phone messed around again, so I was late getting up. I didn't sleep too well, kept waking and wondering if it was time to go. I didn't go till nearly 8am and I was so tired the idea of not going did flit across my mind. BUT I went. Very tired and didn't know if I could do it but it sort of got easier. I meant to add a minute to compensate for looking backwards to encourage my dog but when 25 miins was done, well, so was I and I stopped. I'd gone a little bit faster in the last 5 mins so I think that will have compensated. I feel strangely comforted by the fact that this week can't get any worse than today - unless I go up the slope on the next run. W7r1 done...hooray! Going to try and 'mapmyrun' now.

Another day at the sewing machine so very inactive apart from the run. I hope to get my life back soon when I've caught up with my sewing projects. Can't do anything tomorrow as I'm out all day till late.

Well done - it's not easy when you're tired. I hope the next one goes well.

Thanks Annie, R2 was tiring too, although getting started was prob the worst bit! I'm very lucky in that Laura saying 'halfway through' comes as quite a surprise which is very good. Just wish I enjoyed the music):
