Run | Number 8 & 9

Saturday and Sunday I was really good and made sure I was out running by 8:45am, I love getting up early and getting my run’s in before everyone else wakes up. It also means I don’t have to spend all day worrying about when to fit them in. On Saturday I decided to venture a little further afield and try a slightly different route to before. I really enjoyed this and I was out for 55 minutes, my longest time yet. Due to the snow on Friday night I had to be super careful and therefore did have to walk in parts where the ice was too dangerous to run on.

Unfortunately when I got home my GPS tracker had cut out half way through so I had no idea how far I had gone (seriously the most annoying thing ever). Thanks to Google maps I roughly calculated 3 miles, but due to walking I decided to only add 2.5 miles to my 20 mile pledge.

Sunday I was out nice and early again and decided to push myself even further, armed with a new GPS tracking app. It’s really nice getting out and discovering new routes and seeing where my legs can take me. Slightly disappointed when I got home, what felt like a million miles was unfortunately only 3.4 miles, but still 3.4 miles more than if I had stayed in bed.

Still I need to look at the plus side, that’s the furthest I have ever gone, even walking in parts I’m still proud of myself for getting out there and trying my hardest. It’s been hard making changes but it has to be done, I’m trying to give up alcohol as I don’t really enjoy it and it just makes me feel sluggish the next day. When trying to get run’s in both Saturday and Sunday mornings I can’t afford to be hung over the next day. But it’s a small price to pay for feeling healthier.
In other good news, I have beaten my 20 mile pledge. Saturday and Sundays run’s have taken me up to 21.5, and I still have Tuesday and Thursday until the month is over.
