I had a very busy day at work on friday so no running. I had decided to do my long run on the saturday as I was running the C2S with Samuel on Sunday. So out the door at 6.00am. I hooked into the 10 bridges from Catherine St, but ran down to the bay via Lilyfield Rd. 34kms in 2.45. Todays run had the lot - some good patches and some ordinary ones. I am really loving this as a training run because it is at you the whole way, no bludging. The 3 main benefits today were:
1. Time on the feet
2. Running the whole way by myself in my own little headspace
3. The last few kms - I had a bit of petrol left and on the flattish sections I was able pick it up a bit, goos for the confidence.
Historically I have missed the long run on this weekend but wanted to make sure I got it in this time. I am glad I did.
About Me
- silverfox
- I love my family to bits, they mean absolutely everything to me. I am also a total nut for my running, it gives me an incredible amount of joy and rewards in some form everyday. Whether that is in the form of a bouquet or kick up the rump, it never fails to remind how lucky I am to have embraced it.I believe in honesty, humility,hard work and compassion.I despise injustice and believe that good things come to good people.I was brought up on a staple of team sports and firmly believe the values learnt from that environment have served me well in life. However one of the reasons I got into running was to do something for myself.No excuses apart from the limitations you place on yourself.I am competitive but not consumed by it.I run for me.I have never been driven to compete just to beat someone else-ever.I am fortunate to have made many friends through running.I hope some of those were borne of shared commeraderie and good spirit whilst competing. Finally running reminds me daily that you get from life what you put in.
