W4R1....Survived!!!

Well what can I say...survived but barely is probably the best description of the experience. Somewhere during the first run for 5 minutes thought i would crumble but made it.. albeit dragging myself along in what must have looked like a very umbecoming style of jog/stagger :) By set 2 of the 5 munute run felt more like Rocky and at the end was bloody amazed I had survived and made it. Now to pluck up the courage to do it all again 6am Thursday. Must be the challenge and sheer determination not to give up that keeps me going :)
