Isn't it amazing how much better food tastes when you feel you've worked for it!
Well today I was starting to worry that I wasn't going to get out. I've been rushed off my feet sorting out all manner of highly secretive things and the squally rain and winds this morning did nothing but batter my enthusiasm. All day I've been putting off going out with legitimate excuses of work and, okay there were no other 'legitimate' excuses....but my legs are starting to wonder if this is going to go on for much longer.
I managed to drag myself out the door thinking I'll just run until I hear the 1km beep and then head home...but it felt okay! In fact my brain started to tell my feet that every km I don't do today is another km to run when I'm even more tired tomorrow...and they kept on going!
But the best thing was getting back and having a fantastic lamb curry waiting for me (thanks to my amazing mother-in-law) only minutes after my cool down! I looked at the huge potion of rice and thought I'd never get through it, but after just under an hours running it just evaporated.
Now I remember why I love running....because I also love eating!
Run number 5: 8.76km out and back from Hullavington towards Grittleton then off to Stanton
