Our run tonight was interesting, to say the least. All 3 of us brough along MP3 players with our choice of music on them. So we set off, and within the first kilometer hit a wonderful 200m long hill. Not steep, but just steep enough to take some wind out of our sails. It also seemed that all 3 of us were listening to relatively fast paced music, because we ran our first 10 minutes at a blistering pace before feeling the effects in the second 10 minutes of our run. My calves were killing me (they still are) and A seemed to suffer a little. We reached the end of our course with a minute to go, which meant we had to go around the field until the minute was over. I thought I was going to die. A thought he was going to die. But we didn't. We finished the run and then out of breath and energy, took our tired bodies to the pool to paddle for a couple of minutes before heading home.
When we got home, we had a quick supper and thought we'd be brave and go for a smallish walk just to loosen our muscles. Unfortunately we took a wrong turn in some field and ended up walking for half an hour more than we planned to - by the time we got back home our legs were killing us.
So, I took my shower and now I intend to go lie in front of the television and relax until I want to go to bed and fall asleep :)
