My mammoth run!!

Tonight I did this run. Its only 2.43miles however most of it is uphill (if you click show elevation it will give you the details of how steep!)

I've pretty much nearly died doing it, literally pale, jelly legs etc haha!! However, the start of the route is pretty flat and I surprised myself by running much longer stints than I thought possible. I ran the viaduct:

Hewenden Viaduct

and set myself a target of about a third of the way across but actually ended up running the whole thing!! I was so happy, I looked like Rocky! Also went on to run a few more stints of similar length, each time surprising myself so am really pleased :)

Got a lesson in how to try and stop my muscles seizing up from my friend (basically - cold shower!) so hopefully I won't be too achey in the morning but if anything hurts I think its going to be my stomach muscles!

Right, gonna chill out now - don't forget to sponsor me xx

p.s. here's my cupcakes:

My beautiful cupcakes!

  1. I admire your running efforts--it takes a lot of discipline to continue to pursue any intensive physical activity.
