Run | Number 20

On Tuesday night I really wasn’t looking forward to running, I felt tired and my legs were in absolute agony from the kettle bell workout I had done the night before. I was so tempted to sack it off and go home to my warm bed BUT something stopped me. On Tuesday I entered my first 10k race at Thorney on the 24^th March. Now I know there is a high possibility that I will come last but that is fine as long as I can run the whole way without stopping, that’s my personal aim. With only 4 weeks to go I decided it would be stupid to slack off now so I pushed through and went.

My partner had run on Sunday at the Brighton half marathon so was also feeling a little delicate so we decided to take things slowly and see where we end up, if we have to walk we have to walk so be it.

We actually ended up doing 5 miles, which I’m pretty impressed about. I’m averaging 5 miles every run I do which is a pretty nice feeling. Especially knowing in 4 weeks I need to run 6 whilst being timed, but as long as I finished I will of set myself a PB, I’m going to try and not worry about it.

Tonight I am off to Bushfield again, although I am full of a cough and probably shouldn’t. It may be best to see how I feel later.
