Not such a good end to the day, after being really proud of myself a friend made a joke that if the Chihuahuas were able to keep up I must have been walking. I know they were only joking and probally right that I was going rather slow but it still hurts my feelings a bit :roll: My friend however has...

Get lots of rest and hope you have a fantastic holiday,let us know how it...

Don't be dissapointed you should be so proud of yourself for completing the course, to run 30mins is still just a dream for me (I'm on week 2 run 1) who cares how far you run, speed I'm sure will come with time and if your short (I'm a shorty too) then your probally being too hard on yourself. Pleas...
