Went out this beautiful, sunny morning with the aim of running 5k, as have only fully run 5k once on my graduation run - I did that in just over 36 mins.
Today I ran while listening to Stepping Stones and after 30 minutes I checked and I'd run 4.3k so I ran on, now listening to my own music, and did 5k in 35 so I was more than a minute faster...
And then I was pleased with that and thought, I'm not completely done, so I ran on and completed 5.7k in total.
Was very happy at the end of it all though I was tired, hot, and after gulping three glasses of water, felt quite sick. On a plus side, it only took me seconds to recover my breathing, but a bit longer for the slight nausea to go...
For the last bit, I did it by telling myself I could stop at the end of the road...the hospital gates...the corner shop...the start of my road...and then I was home! I didn't do the final 5 minute walk though, just some stretches, so I may pay for that later....
Hope everyone running today has a good one!
