Anyhoo, food hasn't been great because she's been difficult to get into bed without waking herself up everything she coughs. Lots of sandwiches/soup/pizzas!
However, despite all this I was determined to do a longer run this weekend and I finally did it at 16:15 on Sunday. It wasn't the greatest time to set off as my route is all country roads, ranging from 30-60mph and no street lights. I wore a white sports top borrowed from hubby and my head torch.
I set off knowing my time wouldn't be ground breaking, but I wanted to try and do it non stop. Pacing myself was essential. I made the halfway point around 29 minutes, stopped for precisely 4 deep breaths (and a look at the ducks) then turned around and headed back. At the 45 minute mark I guess I broke through 'the wall' as suddenly I really settled into quite a good rhythm and pace - just a shame I was less than 10 minutes from home and it was getting a bit too dark to continue.
