was it the rain? was it the shoes ( wore my other ASICS Novablast) was it pure determination? Was it because I felt good this morning? Was it the marathon pace setter music on BBC sounds? Or a combination of all of them? Even with the first 6 minutes of the run up hilly road and faster pace with each kilometre ( although it is a slow pace for a lot of people) I achieved my longest I have ever run in my life in 40 mins 56 seconds and faster than I predicted, even with an early stage lung condition my VO2 max has increased from 30 a month ago to 32 today woohoo, I am so so happy right now, I was soaked through but feel so exhilarated and so happy 😀
