Tuesday rolled around again and I joined another club session. My collegue Sofia is over from Sweden and staying with me for the week and she decided to come along. She does run but fairly inconsistantly, however last weekend she watched her Dad run the Prague marathon and it has spurred her on to keep it up.
There was also 2 new women at club, Ally & Emma who Mandy asked if they could pair up with me and all 4 of us go out. We set out at a slow pace as I really didn't want to burn the two girls out too quickly. I had planned a fairly easy 5k route and told them if they really needed to walk that it wasn't a problem. We came to a turn in the road and I gave them the option as to whether they wanted to go further or shorter. Surprisingly they both said further so off we went.
We did 4.26 miles, which for a first run in years for both of them was amazing and I felt really proud that they stuck with it. Fingers crossed I didn't scare them off and they come back next week.
