I'm annoyed with myself.... R1 was tough but I did it, R2 was a lot easier than I expected (I expected to fail..) and I felt well prepared to give that 20 mins my best shot
It's freezing, snowing intermittently and blowing a gale as usual but at least not raining like it did all day yesterday
I couldn't decide on a route as 20 mins is tiring and there is very little flat ground around here then at the last minute I decided to do one of my favourite dog walks in reverse.
At the ten minute mark I had hit a long slow uphill slope and thought thats OK, I feel good but then the sinking feeling that actually it's uphill now pretty much all the way back. Laura had just announced the 15 minutes when I had to give up
I walked the rest of the way up hill to the local park then, as it's flat(ish) and I felt recovered though disheartened but I ran home, and I mean ran. None of this light jog business... Probably half a mile. So I've had a good work out. And I ran for 15 minutes some of it up a long slope
Just annoyed I sabotaged it as on the flat I know I'd have done it.
Planning a route now for Tuesday night
