Failed, but happy

I haven't been running for a week, I finished week 8 last Friday. Before that I hadn't run for almost a week due to bad weather. This week was due to my thyroid meds giving me palpitations. I thought I'd try week 9 anyway.

Didn't manage 30 mins :o(

I did manage about 20 though before breathlessness and a terrible need to pee made me stop! Will go out again tomorrow and see how I go.

So, I am quite pleased with my effort even if I didn't manage the full 30 mins.
