Training has stepped up a level and last Sunday Grumps and I met up to run 10 miles; our first really long run.
We were both home for the weekend and so Tishbabes drove us to Church Stretton and the plan was to run back. It was a freezing cold morning and we were wrapped up in gloves and scarves. We soon warmed up as we ran - the Stretton road has a ludicrous number of hills which I never noticed in a car... But we managed to keep each other going and ran 10.1 miles in 1 hr 35 mins. Impressive work from a couple of amateurs! We are going to try and do all our long runs together - it works better for us and keeps us pushing ourselves. What we didn't realise as we were running was that we both wanted to stop and walk, however because neither of us actually did stop we just kept going!
Our next long run will be on Saturday and 12 miles - a gradual build up each week. After that we are going skiing - neither of us is sure which we are more excited about: a week skiing or a potential week off training...
