Wk9 D4, The penultimate run.

I was 10 seconds slower on the station run this morning due to the traffic lights being on red when I reached them and slight fatigue. I cant wait for my lie in on Sunday!

So today was my penultimate run on the get running programme which makes me a little anxious about what I am going to do next week. Thank goodness for parkrun though. It gives me something to keep going for each Saturday I am free.

I went out about 10 am. The weather was warm and breezy, perfect. I wanted to open up my gait a little for this run to try and get a bit further than the last run so I started, probably, a bit too fast. What with that and the run I did a couple of hours before, my thighs really felt it. Even so, I did the whole run, plus a few minutes more into the cool down and made it to 4.92 km in 40 minutes, which is not bad considering at least 6 minutes of that was walking. I think I'm ready to beat 40.15 minutes for my 5k on Saturday.
A client bought me a box of chocolates today and as I already burned a load of calories I munched my way through 6 of them. Very yum they were too.
