...and it feels fantastic!!
Well, I am pretty sure there was a 20 minute run in there.
At about 4 minutes into the run, I heard, 'Hello, I'm Laura. Welcome to, blah (you know the rest)...noooooo (part-timer....you left me). I thought, it's okay, at least if I let her carry on, I'll know roughly where the next 5 minute point is, but noooo...about 30 seconds later, I hear, 'Hello, I'm Laura,...grrrr...anyway, earbud discarded and I'm on my own! I know my route well, so gauged the half way and headed back...definitely covered more ground than I have in any of my interval runs and I'm pretty sure there's a 20 minute run in there, coz, whilst Laura was, no doubt, chatting to those snails, Mapmyrun was beavering away (phew)! I did 5k in 38.41 mins including the 5 minutes walking at the beginning and 5 to get home. Slow and steady, but I feel great
So, did I say Yeaaaaaaah!?
Thanks for all of your words of encouragement, pre-run 3 - you are amazing!
