Surprising achievement

Since graduating, I have been stuck doing my familiar 5.5k circuit, thinking about pushing up the distance, but fearing it. This weekend, my fried and someone I sometimes run with, asked if I fancy doing a 5.5. I said yes and I like running with her and Sunday morning off we went. When I got back, I had recorded 5.6 miles; 9k! So if anybody else is stuck increasing their distance, what they need to do is have a misunderstanding with their more experienced running mate. I felt brilliant having done it and now have no fear of longer distances.
