Yesterday I finally achieved a goal I set myself over a year and a half ago — or was it two and a half years ago? — by running in excess of five kilometres. I ran just over four last weekend, so I was reasonably confident I could make it. In fact, the four was meant to be five but my poor route planning let me down.
Three and a half miles in around 38 minutes means my marathon time would be about four and a half hours… if I could maintain the pace. Don’t stay tuned. It was a boring run and the thought of going almost seven times longer fills me with dread.
