:hello: Evening!

Please don't laugh, but I did my LONGEST RUN EVER today - 1.5 miles :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: okay, actually, you can laugh.

It took 22 minutes!! :eek: :eek: (you can laugh again if you like...:o)

So, what do you reckon? Am I a sleek and sexy running machine yet?

Don't knock it, thats great progress!

Speed is irrelevant - once you've done 1.5 you will keep progressing, just don't rush it.

Well done.

Thanks

It was quite hard going, mainly because of the HUGE quantity of midges flying around (it's a reservoir), making breathing in a generally fairly hazardous occupation. But other than that, it was a really nice place to run, so I think I will go back there on Sunday morning.

If I go round it twice (once running, once walking), then gradually build up to being able to run right round twice, does that sound like a good plan?

I think that would be roughly equivalent to 5k? (Blimey, that sounds like a looooong way!)

That sounds ideal.

And yes it does often get to the point where you think 'Wow, did I really do that?'

In fact, it happens pretty much every time you've been further than before.

Bur 2.5K running plus 2.5K walking is a decent session in anyone's books.

Right, that's the plan then.

Another quick question, sorry (as you're local) - do you buy your sorbawhatsits online or in a shop (and if so, which one?).

I tried the White Rose Centre today, and the shops that didn't look at me blankly (KNEW I shouldn't have tried Monsoon...) either didn't have the right make, or had one pair in a size 12 (who the hell has size 12 feet???).

I don't mind ordering them online, but I suppose I was being a bit impatient and wanting them NOW!

Thank you kindly.
