I wasn't really feeling enthused for running, or anything, this morning, if I'm honest. But, you should always get up, show up, and give things a go.
The run today was with Saturn Running, on the Runnymead course, which I like a lot. It's nice and traily, and at a pretty spot along the Thames. It was muddier than I was expecting, which was a shame for my new trainers, but hey ho. It was chilly, but very nice for running in, and the sun even came out after a while.
Thank you Craig for the first three Lovelock Laps, and for cheering me up. I was feeling much better after that, and I had a good run (although missing my partner in crime Sarah), and was pleased with my marathon time. So I thought I would crack on, and have a go at beating my 50km PB. About 1 mile after making this decision, I started to quite significantly regret my choice, when my legs got tired and I started feeling sick. But when things are tough, just keep on moving, eat kendal mint cake and ginger, and in the end you will get to the finish. Thank you Craig again, for picking me up in a low moment, cheering me up again and pushing me to keep going. Plus, well done on your Saturn #100!
I finished in 4.44.07 which is 27 minutes quicker than my previous 50km PB. I'm really happy about it, as I havent done any kind of PB for ages, and thought I would never do one again.
Thank you Team Saturn! And well done to everyone!
