5k the hard way
Had arranged to run with my buddie Sarah today. Had it all planned 5 miles through the industrial estate ( I'm a bit nervous running through there on my own) and including a couple of hills. Anyway 10 mins before we're due to go out she texted me to say couldn't make it , only problem was I'd left 5 mins earlier. So after 10 mins waiting about I gathered she wasn't coming (teach me to take my phone) and decided to do a quick circuit anyway. So 5k later I staggered home after finding out to my absolute horror that it was a lot windier than I'd thought and my legs were sore from bodycombat last night. Nice to have been out and done something though even if it wasn't the long run I'd planned. Gentle day tomorrow spin and some yoga. Maybe I'll fit in that long run. Still training for the moonraker 10k at the end of the month so got to keep the miles up.
