AHHH running with some friends.....

[digbyfuller]

Got all enthusiastic today and went for a run after zumba with some friends who did the lincoln 10k this year.....turns out they're a lot faster than me! Puffing after them I did my fastest ever speed averaging 6.45 mins per km (normally 7.45). We ran 4.02km and i did it in 24mins but my word it was hard work! Doing my first 5k race at clumber park on sat so hope I recover from today! x

I seem to remember Laura saying some weeks ago that the way to build stamina is to push a little bit more than you think you can (didn't want to hear that so I ignored her at the time!) sounds as if she was quite right so I bet your run with friends will have been a great help for Saturday, even if it didn't feel it at the time. Best of luck and looking forward to hearing how you get on.

Gosh, doesn't that extra minute just kill!

Good luck for your first 5k race!

Wow, going running AFTER zumba with more experienced/faster runners, what a challenge, well done!

Ended up in bed with a massive headache in the afternoon with three small people running around the bed .....still feel better for it today! x
