Almost 10km

7.87km - 48.45

I've been really trying to push myself recently and 10km has been a consistent goal of mine. I hope to one day make it comfortably to the end so that I can work towards achieving a half marathon. Each time I go out I have a distance in mind that I'm aiming for, and today was much the same. I ran a route recommended to me by my fiancé which is pretty much flat road. I ran 7km without having to slow or even stop, but as soon as I did I just couldn't carry on. 

The run itself was fantastic as I maintained speed throughout. I also smashed my fastest 5km clocking it in at 28.35. I did however have to cut my run short through sheer body exhaustion so for that I'm gutted. Next time I hope to actually complete 10km regardless of time. 

11km - Running Errands

11.5k - 1:31:24

On Wednesdays I usually run the intermediate group with the Malvern Joggers. Typically we cover around 8k of hilly terrain. Tonight however, I'll be unable to join them as mummy duties take priority. I'm watching my eldest participate in a catwalk fashion show for George at Asda. Exciting stuff! In order not to mess with my schedule I went out this morning after the school drop. I was quite literally running errands as I had to shoot up to the retail park to buy shoes for the fashion show - not for me, for my daughter. Anyway, I decided to incorporate said shoe dash into my run, and paced my way up to the shops and back.

Typically I can achieve a much better time than logged today, but part of my journey was spent shopping so I'm not entirely sure if this 11k actually counts. My next goal is to complete 10k at a consistent pace so that I can start working towards a half marathon.
