Running Alone

June 9th

This is my second run since my race. I ran on Monday and was feeling great after it. Today I started my run off slowly and didn't pick up much after that. This was more of a walk/run. I did manage to complete my usual route (I have a usual running route :) ) of 5.5 km. It took me 47 minutes. I do feel better for doing it, but I was definitely dragging.

I really enjoy running because it is my alone time and the time I get to listen to my music. The difficulty is that on a day like today if I were running in a group then I probably would have been able to run for longer periods. I find that being with other people I don't want to let them down so I would keep up the run for longer.

I am on a quest to build up my distance and speed up my pace. I think that I have made great strides in the last few months, but of course I would like to build up to a 10 km at some point in the future.

Another run done! Many more to go. Happy running to everyone!
