An unexpectedly long run

This evening I headed out for run, not really expecting to make it that far 'cos I didn't run over the weekend as I'd hoped to.

Turns out I was wrong. I managed approx 8.5k in 55 minutes and then walked another few k to give me a very handy total and surprisingly good work out.

I'm doing a 10k in a few weeks time so tonight was really great to get me back into the groove of it. Also, part of me felt I could have continued running if I really needed to. I chose to stop 'cos I'd not run that far in ages and didn't want to overdo things. I've got another 5k on Wednesday that I need to be able to manage without resorting to crawling.

It was a lovely surprise though.
