On the eve of our second run I will tell you about the first run!
It actually went pretty well to be fair. I haven't done any long distance running since 2009 so didn't really know what my body was going to be like as the miles clocked up. When I run longer distances invariably my stride pattern is shorter to help maintain a steady plod which in turn creates a few tight spots in my right hip joint, left and right hip flexors and adductor's. After blowing the cobwebs out of the system early on I started to find my running legs again and thankfully I only felt a little tightness with a couple of miles to go which didn't amount to anything more than just being aware that it was there.
On a chilly zero degree Saturday morning we clocked up 9.3 miles. We all came off the run feeling good albeit a tad cold!
I took some pictures and a few videos of the run so I will share these with you (beware of motion sickness!)
Staff is bracing himself against the cold or in need of a big poo......??
I know it's only the first week yet I can't help but get spontaneous feelings of excitement about the next 6 months of training! :-)
