So they say.
Ok so last week I was in France in a hilly spot, which challenged me as I have avoided those pointy things to date. So one morning I set off really early when it was coolest and got lost so ended up doing my longest run yet 7k up hill and down dale
Quite comfortable and VERY happy 
So went out for a 5K on Sunday and managed to run it 3 minutes quicker than I ever have before.
I really do not understand how this works; but I'll take that
Well done you! The first time I tried a hilly route I thought I was going to vomit! Actually it was pretty much the last time! I like flat 😜
LOL, back home on a bit of a slope and I just did a REALLY crap run 
Pride; Fall.....
7k, blimey oh Riley that's nearly 10k. No wonder you ran quicker on the 5k. Clearly those extra clicks under your feet translated to slashing minutes off your time. Weird but wonderful, you should be very proud of that.
Thanks, and if its nearly 10k, well that's almost a marathon!!! My niece just did Ironman (141 miles of running, swimming and biking) in 14 hours. Pfffff
Gosh iron woman more like. Evidently superhero genes run in the family!
Apparently iron woman is a different, shorter event.....I know, I know....
I am thinking what superhero I would be....Maybe
'Is it a racehorse? Is it a greyhound? No, it's Tortoise Woman' (Like a ninja turtle but dislikes water)
ninja tortoise - I hate water so am called a lizard. Therefore ninja lizards?
Hills make you stronger, as does running on trails.🙂 Well done, sounds like a fab run!
More miles, more strength......... that's progress, Helen.
Satisfying, isn't it.
Keep running, keep smiling.
Yes, it is satisfying Iannoda. I like the way that I have a plateau for a week or so and then go out and at the end of the distance feel 'hmm I think I can carry on here'! Still really slow though....
Hope this makes you smile..
I love the way running makes you feel - after!! 
The secret to running faster - revealed...
Running faster than I walk
