Hi everyone! (a little Bachman-Turner Overdrive on the ipod today - ahhhhhh....another great band that Canada can lay claim to!)
Went out today, planning on doing a longish run (maybe 10km) but it was quite hot and very humid down by my old waterpark and I was feeling it so decided to see how I felt and cut it a bit sort. Ended up doing 7km in 39:47!!!!!!!!!! Woowooowoooo!!!!
Now - I tend to run 7km fairly regularly, as 10-11km are my long runs at the moment and I like to do at least 5km when I go out so 7 generally feels like a good distance for those non-speed/non-long runs. 40 minutes has been a BIG psychological 7km barrier for me for a while now and it felt amazing to break it. I have to say this has been a great week psychologically. I really didn't believe I could run fast without Chris because I've always been slow on my own before - but these past few weeks I've had no choice but to go out on my own, so it was a case of really trying on my own or not making progress -so I just put my mind to it.
Had some great Canadian music pop up on the ipod at around 4km, which I'm sure helped (it gave me goosebumps anyway). I think chris is planning to run tomorrow while I'm at fat club and I might let him come out to play on sunday as well ;-)
Hope you all have good weekends ahead of you! We're meeting up with Sarah and Mike tomorrow for a hello and a congratulatory (on their engagement) drink in the afternoon (hmmm...seem to seeing a lot of you realbuzzer lot lately!!). You are a great bunch, though and we are very lucky to have made so many friends here! All the best and lots of love
xx
