I think I've just had my strongest run EVER!! Martin and I were dropped off at Wiliton and run back to Taunton through the Quantocks. We reckon it must have been around the twenty mile mark and we ran it in 3 hours and 10 minutes which is fu**ing quick by anyone's standards!! I'm unbelievably chuffed as it felt pretty comfortable and not all that fast. Just to put it in perspective, had I ran a Marathon at that pace I would have finished in four and a quarter hours (disclaimer: This is never likely to happen!).
Unfortunately though a couple of miles into this morning's run, the bladder in my camelback burst and I got a litre and a half of freezing cold water down my back. Not only did this mean that I had to finish the run without my water, but I also had a very wet and uncomfortable arse!! Unfortunately for me, I had blown any chances of sympathy from Martin last week when the same thing happened to him and I'd had a good laugh! He did let me share his water though (and gave me sweets), so he's been a great running partner today. All this and he's not even training for an event. Thanks Mr Shaunie.
My legs are very stiff now and I suspect they will protest even more tomorrow. I think I've gone a bit mad though and am having a deep heat and Ibuprofen induced high!!!...Woo Hoo!!!
