So the “pro” running teachers from school asked me if I wanted to come for a run with them on Sunday morning. I was well impressed and honoured that they’d ask me. I asked ‘how long for?’ they said ‘2 hours’… that sounded a bit long for me but they assured me it would be ok as they would run 6mins walk 1min and only walk the hills.

So I rode in at 5:45am (so early for a Sunday! I thought long and hard about ignoring the alarm and rolling back over in bed), met the boys at 6 and we started off. 2 hours and 21kms later (a half marathon!!!!!) we were back. I was feeling fine, only blisters on my toes. I got on da bike and rode to Church where I was song leading.

Fantastic! A great way to do longer runs and not be totally wrecked…though I must say today my legs are a little sore (I guess the game of soccer at lunch may be the culprit!)…
