Notes
I had to go and do 13 miles today or I knew I would not be able to take part in the Kilomathon next week. I have done hardly any running since September last year and this year I have gone out and put a pathetic effort in. I expected to give up before I started. I started off, it was very busy with walkers and bikes, which I would normally let put me off, but I carried on. I actually enjoyed the first 10 miles!! I am amazed to say that. I did a run across sand which was really hard and stupid because it hurt my calves. I stopped to see the ponies, which again was stupid because I ceased up and it was hard to get going again. The last mile in Sherwood Pines was horrible and I was convincing myself that next week was off. Then I got into Vicar Water and finished my run quite strong, even though 5 mins before I thought I could not put one foot in front of another. I did finish and I was so pleased with myself. What made it more than ever worth while was that Carol told me she was proud of me and amazed at how I manage to pull the mental ability out of no where to get me through. That was the icing on the cake and put me on a high.
