By far my most successful day today. I was planning on having a bigger run today and planned out a route on Google Maps that would take me from Highams Park to Loughton and back - A 4.1mile journey each way.
Optimistically, I prepped myself for the run, and more realistically wrote on Facebook that I was stupid for swimming out of my depth.
Since it was wet, I couldn't use a shortcut across a golf course, so ran the long way up a huge hill to get to Woodford. This was the first time I was properly panting, although I only panted three times, during this and two other steep hills. I didn't stop once, and got my breath back by running slightly slower to compensate.
Overall the run felt really good. I'm not too tired - more than normal but this was expected - and if anything feel like I would after a tennis match. By tomorrow I'll be refreshed, and might do a slightly smaller 5mile run or thereabouts.
Today I ran a new route - flatter, and more entertaining - and I'll need to keep doing this to maintain I don't get bored or tired.
