There and back again!

Funny how last week we felt good at the start and it was horrible at the end. This week, felt I had to stop at 4 miles but pushed through and felt good at the end! 1710595581_img_1518.png

Just under 2 months to go!

With the marathon looming on the 05/05, Dom and I ran 15 miles today and it was great until 12 miles then it suuuucked. Glad to get it done though and learnt that the Gu Coffee energy gels are not the one 👎1709994232_img_1496.jpeg
