12km of Yay :)

It's official. I'm in love with my skins :) beautiful, wonderful things :)

I had such a fab run tonight. Initially thought 5km would suffice, hit 5km, thought perhaps 8km, then 10km came around and I decided to add another two on by extending my usual route. Ran heaps more with less walking than usual and faster too I think - I don't know if it's just the psychological benefit of doing the 25k (or maybe the skins!) but tonight as I was bounding along, I felt like something had finally clicked over in me - some little brain-legs type synapses that was previously lacking or intermittant. Last week when I tried to do the 10km along the same route, I was completely stuffed. Maybe it's all just the endorphins talking!

Was waiting impatiently to cross the lights just down from Garden City, when I see a herd of runners coming up the other side - sure I spotted Karisma! Must've been the River City Runners. Tried to catch them but by the time I'd crossed, they were way off in the distance. C'est la vie! I came happily galumphing home, feeling like a million bucks. Looking forward to friday and the 3k inter-club TT challenge!!!

"The bad news is that despite warming up, stretching etc etc etc, I pulled my right hip flexor in the process :( I think I set my stride too large or something... do excuse my french, but it hurt like a bastard"

*snorks* I'm so uncouth ;)
