Back to Running

I went for my first run today in about 6 weeks. I was a little apprehensive as to how I would perform but I was really pleased how I did.

Normally when I run I tend to hit a point at around 15-18 mins in where I feel tired and want to stop. I push through it and I am fine after 3 minutes and can then carry on. Today however, I did not hit that wall. I felt really good and not tired at all. I planned on doing about 6km, but I felt so good I did a long route and managed just under 10km. It's a beautiful sunny day here in Swansea today and that helped. There is nothing better than a nice run in warm, sunny weather and some fresh air passing through your lungs.

I did a 9.8km run in 1:02, not my best time but I tackled a big hill at the end which I just had to walk.
