Felt quite brave tonight!

Another first for me this evening! My usual runs are along the sea front (which means a 10 min drive each way) but with the dark evenings it's not really safe to run down there and with me being do busy in work can't really afford to take out more than an hour! So, after an absolutely fab day today I decided that I would get my gear on and run around the block. Now this may not seem like much to many of you, but this involved running on the main roads, something I have never really done before. But I did it! The route was just over 2 miles and involved a few gradients which were a killer for me as I'm only used to flat runs! Managed to run for 14mins before I had to walk, but this was cause I was going up hill. All in all, I felt quite proud that I did it (as the fact this was a mid week run was also an achievement too!) - so long may it continue. Wouldn't want to commit to when my next 'round the block' run will be but I don't think it will too long! So here are my results: Distance: 2.06mi Time: 00:23:24 Pace: 11:22min/mi Speed: 5.28mi/h In my opinion not a bad pace! And with a bit of training I think I can get it under 11mins/mile And don't forget to pledge a donation to my 'Run for the Bus' sponsorship: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=202880829786600 So far I have raised a grand total of 40p!
