Accountability Tweet: your friendly neighbourhood slug/potato baby has poured the gals into three (3) sports bras and is about to do run 1 of couch to 5k. If you never hear from me again I died of embarrassment/asthma or fell in the canal

Just did run 4 of #CouchTo5K - no endorphins today. I was tired, wore too many clothes, which meant I dehydrated myself (yay for dyoralite) Iâm still glad I went but maybe running the day after working v late and sleeping badly isnât a good idea.
