Miles run: 10
My parents have been down for the last few days, and Mr Runner saw this as an excellent opportunity to need to go to New York for an urgent business trip. As my parents left yesterday, and I'd booked this whole week off as holiday, I realised I was going to have to occupy myself today. So I decided the best plan would be to get the train to Richmond and run home along the Thames Path. It's something I've always wanted to do, but when Mr Runner is home, I'm always conscious about being out of the house for as little time as possible, so I figured today was a perfect opportunity. The last time I ran 10 miles, I was pretty confident it was the perfect distance for me. So I was sure that this would be a lovely way to spend the morning.
So what if I haven't run more than 5km since October.
The sun is shining, it'll be really nice.
Nope.
It was exhausting. I spent the last 3 miles distracting myself from my screaming muscles and dragged myself onwards by playing Pokemon. Yes. I was that desperate.
When I got home I had a really long nap on the sofa, and felt slightly guilty that all the wedding organising and other jobs I was going to productively get done hadn't been touched...but then maybe that was my secret plan all along!
Tomorrow is another day!
