Today I accidentally did 16k in one go. You know, totally by accident, not at all because my Zombies, Run app decided to reboot itself and lost all the previous data meaning I'd have to start again from scratch when I promised myself a nice easy 8k walk after work tonight! Grr!
Feeling disheartened but determined to get back all the progress I'd lost, I got home, got changed and, after a brief fight with my new running top which did NOT want to be worn, I tossed it aside in favour of a less pretty but more straightforward tee-shirt, fired up the music and headed off.
The first 5 was easy, 8k was alright, 10k I was starting to feel it in my legs and had to keep pausing the app so that I could sit down and let my legs and spine rest, 11-14k I had to really push and only the realisation that the only way I'd actually get home was to keep walking kept me going.
15k is where MrPsycho phoned to ask where the hell was I? he'd just got home and was worried because I wasn't there, I told him I'd be back ASAP as I was just coming past the sub-station up the road.
The way back did give me my 16k (btw, we found Doc Myers girlfriend, Paula, now we need to find a way out of the Jeffro Complex without being seen and possibly getting Paula out of there without dying!)
I've done just over 16k in just over 3 hours, walking most of it, which I think is pretty good, also shaved 9 minutes off my time for a 10k (2hrs 10mins down to 2hrs 1min) I'm hot, tired and bathed and my feet are actually throbbing but, despite it all....I can't wait to be able to say I've actually done 20k and prove it.
Anyway, tomorrow's Weigh-Day, hopefully I'll have lost at least a bit thanks to today's efforts
Take care
