A Long Run to Remember
Yesterday I did a long run with Andy. This in itself was something to enjoy as he doesn't like doing anything longer than 45 minutes and he managed to go the full hour and a half with me yesterday! We ran out the door in the cold cold weather, feeling my hands freeze (I have to find my gloves!) and feeling sorry for Andy because, even though he said he wasn't cold, he was wearing a sleeveless t-shirt and this made me feel even colder.
The roads were unusually busy for that time of day. Normally the roads are dead quiet on Sunday afternoons, but for some reason everyone and his brother was out. It almost felt like we were running in the middle of the week on a day when everyone else was at work and we were witnessing all the school runs taking place.
After about 45 minutes my legs were starting to complain that they were tired, but I kept running, taking a minute walking break every 15 minutes and having some water, honey and chatting to Andy about the coming year. Around the end of the run he mentioned that he might want to do a half marathon this year. A half marathon! Andy! Its made me really excited, as he'll be training with me from now until whenever his chosen marathon takes place :)
Now I'm all excited!
