It's been a few weeks now since my last post. It's not as though I haven't been running, but I've just not been writting on here due to the fact that the end of April was truely manic.
Since my longest run outside I've been trying to run outside as much as possible. The following week was Easter weekend and I returned to Somerset to have a family weekend and go to my friend Jennie's wedding. Good Friday came and I did a 3 mile run in Taunton. Easter Saturday I did a 1.5 mile run to the garage and back to the Bull ranch to get the Saturday morning papers (this was before the wedding). Sunday I had the day off and then Easter Monday I ran the Brent Knoll 5k route alongside my brother Matthew, Kiwi Kate and accompanied by my sister Katy on a bike. Matthew put us all to shame by making it look easy, even the hill and Katy zoomed off on the bike, after making it to the top of the hill. Kiwi Kate took it easy as her return to jogging run after being ill the month before and I ran alongside Matthew. We took it slow and got round in 31mins. The hardest part was the heat. We were in the sun for the whole run without water and it was hard!
Since Easter weekend I've mainly been in the gym and to be honest haven't done a longer run since. This is starting to make me anxious and will be hitting the road again this week taking the length up to 4 miles before starting to run 5 by the end of the month. The thought of getting over the 3 mile hurdle is a bit scary, but I'm so looking forward (I know, positive / mental) to getting to the 5 mile milestone.
