I woke at 5, had a drink and fed dogs before we headed out after 6. I took a different route today, so I wouldn't have the uphill first thing into my run, the first 3 min were easy compared to how it was Tuesday with the hill. This meant I recovered in time for my first 5 minute run which I was dreading, but I did it and completed the session. I'm real stoked! And sweaty hehe.

Well done - that's a mighty early time to get out for a run! If you can do 5 minutes, you can do a whole lot longer, because the first 5 minutes is very often the worst bit! :)

Very wise to avoid hills too! :)

Well I did not care for that run. I liked week 3’s run/walk intervals and balance, week 4 seems much
