On Friday night I decided to go for a run, after having had a stressful day in the office. I decided to take it slow, as I am now officially in training for the 2008 Great Baddow 10 mile charity run. I decided to take my longest route, which usually takes about 30-35 minutes. The cooler weather certainly seems to be more to my liking, as I felt comfortable running with my old sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms on. As I was approaching the last stretch of road before my house, I decided to go a little further, and I carried on for another half lap of the village. No idea how far I ran, but it was certainly the longest run I have ever done time wise, and probably distance too. It felt good. I worked up a huge sweat, even though it was a chilly evening. I ma feeling more confident about the challenge that jsparrow has set us. If I can do a few runs like this each week I should be ready for a 10 mile race next May. The date has been set - it is Sunday 18th May 2008.
