I was ready for a run yesterday. Picked the kids up from school, just relaxing and as it was a beautiful day I was looking forward to running just before the sun went down.
Then, I got a call from one of the teenagers wanting me to go and speak to him...so I put off the run. I planned a run yesterday and 2 days off to rest, but it meant that yesterday was rest day and tonight after picking my son up, I had a meeting with someone.
As soon as that finished I was off for a run.
I had been out on the bike earlier and gone over a potential route but it looked like I would try it in about 10 days time.
However, as I hit 1km, I felt good and really wanted to try the new route.
As I came back on to the old route I thought it was likely to be short of 5km. I estimated this without looking at my watch, as I did not want to see the time. I was only going by the songs on my mp3 player ( this is the first time I have run with the player, but most of my other runs have been short). As I came back up to finish I saw the time was well under 30 minutes, so was sure that the distance was not 5km. Feeling reasonably good, i extended the run another 500km.
I finished on 30 mins. 36 seconds.
I have no idea how far officially it was. I am pretty sure it was 3miles...and it could have been very close to 5km.(edit: measured at 4.8km)
Feeling good.
Legs a little sore, but nothing worrying.
Feeling very encouraged!
