Run | Number 36

Hello again guys. I've been a bit slow on the old blog updates..oops. Anyway on Tuesday once again I went down to Bushfield. I honestly cannot praise joining a running club more. Last year when I was 'training' on my own I struggled to make it to 5k and even then I was barely running it, I found going out running was a chore and not something I enjoyed. Now my feelings for running have completely changed, I love it. There I said it. Now I enjoy donning my lycra and getting out there. 

Anyway back to the point in hand. Tuesday saw me going out with Gary & Charlene. We originally wanted to get to 7 miles - As this is the furthest I've ever ran and wanted to do it again. We set off and a mile in I honestly felt like I was dragging 100 st behind me, my legs just wouldn't work and I just wasn't in the right state of mind. Charlene was also struggling and we considered cutting the milage down to 3, even this seemed difficult. 

We pushed through regardless and we actually made it to 5.7 miles which is the furthest Charlene has ran in a while so I was really proud of her. I was also really proud of myself, at the beginning I was so close to giving up and turning around but I didn't, I pushed through and I showed myself I can do so much when I put my mind to it.
