Stronger with every step

It is a beautiful sunny Bank Holiday Monday. Not often you can say that. I went out for my run about an hour later than normal. And with no pressure to get to work I decided on a long slow run. And that is exactly what I achieved. I ran 7.7km at a very slow pace. I probably pushed the distance a little further than I should have but I still felt as if I had something left in the tank. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Happy runnings folks.
