Hi everyone, I haven’t posted for a while but I read the forum everyday and you all continue to inspire and motivate me.
My plan today was for a long run (by my standards). For once no rain was forecast although I knew it would be quite breezy in places.
All started well but then about 2k in I took a tumble ... ouch! ... would I be able to get up ... more to the point had anyone seen me! Carefully stood up wondering which parts of my old body might fall off. There were grazes on my knee, shoulder, and both hands ... could I carry on? Walked a few steps, tried a gentle jog, everything seemed to be working so off I went again. I actually felt quite good and surprisingly things went well from then on.
For the first time I took a couple of mini snacks and some water with me so at 6k and 8k I had a sip and a munch. That all went well, didn’t choke or drop anything.
And then finally for the last kilometre I managed to speed up (again ... by my standards!).
So that was 11k ... my longest run!
Hope you all have a great weekend, happy running!
