Bridge to 10K

My Kate Bush Half Marathon...🙂

Out this morning for my long run - aiming for at least another 11 miles but secretly hoping for the full 13.1 miles (21.1k!) Accompanied by not one, not two but three Kate Bush albums on my playlist (and a little Florence and the Machine) I headed off. Ran the first 12km on the trails. Much as I love them, they were so slippy and muddy in places today and I was quite relieved to get back on to the local roads. Refuelled and had a little to drink every 5 kilometres and this seemed to work well. My right ankle felt quite tired from about 13k but it seemed to come and go so I was able to run on although I was careful with my pace (I do not want an injury now!) . Ok, it wasn't fast but that was not my goal today (hoping I will be faster when I do the Bath Half in 5 weeks) Today my goal was the distance and the endurance and I did it! Think I will be smiling all day!🙂🏃🏽‍♀️🙂
