I altered my route a little today as I was getting a bit bored.....oops big mistake! The 5 min warm up ended at the bottom of a really steep hill.....well ok it was only a little hill but still it was a hill nonetheless. I tackled it and 2 further hills but breathing all went to pot today, not sure why. Gremlins on my back almost willed me to stop half way but i carried on. It may be because I've been feeling a little under the weather for the past week but have really wanted to carry on getting out there. At one time I would have used any excuse to get out of exercising but now I'm hooked. So that's W7R2 in the bag, feeling a bit achey now but really pleased that I didn't give in to the gremlins. :-)

Well done Bongodrums!! We all have a bad run every once in a while! Don't let it get you down! Even though the gremlins were after you, you kept going and made it one step closer to successfully completing the program!! Congratulations!!
