My usual training partner Aunty was away in Cyrpus this week running another half marathon, she is amazing. I still went along to training which was a little daunting as it's the first time I've been without her. I stuck with Jenny who I have run with a few times and George tagged along. George is such an inspiration, he is 80 this year and runs every day in shorts and vest (regardless of the weather). In his time he has ran 100 full marathons and countless halves. It was really nice to have him chatting along and telling me all about his upcoming holidays.
Jenny & George run slightly faster then my usual pace so it was a nice challenge to push myself but be able to keep up with them (I even made it up the hill without wanting to die). I'm so proud that I managed to make it the whole way round and keep up.
We did 3.21 miles at a nice easy pace.
Although I only started running again in January I can't believe how much my general fitness and stamina has improved. I felt really good after running on Thursday and I really felt like I could of kept going.
