Week 10 run 1

I am in a state of shock, my initial plan today was to run 7.24k or 5 miles. So I put on my running gear and went out the door not really giving the distance a second thought.

So I started my warm up, that was ok. So I proceeded to run but because I didn't feel tired I kept on running and running and you guessed it running some more before checking my pedometer. You see I thought I was half way, 2.5 miles. However when I looked at my pedometer. I had run 3.2 miles, so I turned round and continued running until I reached home, only to discover I had just ran 6.3miles in, wait for it!

54 mins.

I am totally gob smacked, 10 weeks ago I couldn't even run a bath without getting tired and today I had just ran 6.3 miles in 54 mins.

I think this definately deserves a chocolate doughnut. I am quite excited to see if run 2 is as good, I really hope so because I feel great after that run.

Wish me luck guys, my next run is Wednesday so hopefully I will have more good news in my next blog.

Congratulations! Your line about running the bath is classic, and it will definitely become one of my favorite idioms.

Isn't it marvelous when it goes like that? And a fantastic time, also!

(Loved the "run a bath" thing too...)

Enjoy!

Wow that is fantastic, well done I've completed the 9 weeks and although running 30 mins not up to 5k yet, but I'll keep going!

That is a fantastic result for you, I am about to do run 3 wk9 as yet my best has been 4.8km in 30 mins so I can only hope my speed and distance comes as a good surprise like yours. I am looking forward to the day I will be able to write the same result you have achieved. You must be so proud of yourself and I certainly would go all out and have 2 doughnuts with triple chocolate. Great stuff
