If I was Betty...I'd be proud of running 6km

So this running thing...

Although Saturday's session had me huffing and puffing to the point of wanting to feed the fishes in the Thames, I decided to be the determined tortoise and stick with it. By the end of the session I was feeling more confident and decided that I would give the Tuesday road running session a go.

I must be mad right?

Tuesday rolls around and I'm feeling apprehensive, which quickly changed to terrified when the instructors announced that we would be doing a 6km loop!!

What? You must be joking?

Off we set and before I knew it we were at Wandsworth Bridge...oh my goodness I just ran from Putney to Wandsworth! And once we crossed back over Putney Bridge on the home straight to the coffee shop meeting point. There was one hell of a stupid grin on my face! I had done it! OMG I had just run 6km! They speak of "runners high" and wow I was high. The excitement was tangible and I think both instructors just had to laugh at the expression on my face.

I'll be back at RunClub on Saturday morning for some more...

Bring it on!!
