The elusive 30 minutes.

I did it. I ran non-stop for 30 minutes and 20 seconds, without Laura. Only covered 2.25 miles, but I did it.

I feel I cheated a bit by starting at the top of a slope, running down hill for the first mile then up a gentle slope for over half a mile and finished of with another downward slope.

BUT, I did it and I didn't stop or walk!

Anything with any form of uphill slope is categorically not cheating.

Congratulations. :)

Nothing is cheating when you run for 30 minutes - and that extra 20 seconds counts too :D Great achievement, well done.
