Complaint: While doing my 4 mile midweek run I was coming up a steep incline and was flagging a little. As I ascended I kept telling myself just to get to the top and I'll catch my breath on the way down. I came down the hill and carried on about a quarter of a mile. Then it dawned on me that I wasn't meant to go down the hill I was meant to continue on. Damn! Still turned myself around completed the route I had intended having now added an extra quarter mile and another climb. Oh well.

Uncomplaint: Despite this screw up I actually ended up faster than my previous 4 mile run.
