Longest run so far

Hi fellow runners, I missed out on park run this morning ( too comfortable in bed!!) So I thought a long run today would stop me feeling guilty. Went out at a slower for me than usual pace and stopped at 16 k in 1 hour 30 mins. I stupidly forgot my water bottle and was a bit thirsty. Why are there no water fountains these days! Amazingly I wasn't puffed out or overly tired just a tad dry. It's all down to c25k and the help and advice given here that's enabled me to do this. Seven months ago I couldn't run to the end of the road without being exhausted! Good luck and happy running all.

That's a pretty damn good run - must have been a sub 60 10k. Mind you, that's no excuse for missing Parkrun.
