Chris and Melissa on the run for MND by Melissa_Cowley

Fartlekking.  For five miles (after a 1 mile jog and followed by another 1 mile jog).  Chris and I took it in turns to call out periods of fast jogging and sprinting (from that tree to that corner type of thing).

Legs feeling very tired but a really beautiful morning so managed pretty well.  Had one moment where I thought to myself, I just can't do it any more and could have stopped right there and then.  Had to give myself a very stern talking to and got second wind (nothing to do with the fartlek!).

Have lost our position at the top of the on-line fundraising chart after someone came straight in at number 1 with over £12k!  It turned out they had a single donation of £10k.  We're now in third place but unusually for me I don't feel particularly competitive about it as we are just really thrilled to have made nearly £6k for the MNDA.
