No Pain, No Gain…..Gaining doesn’t make a run fun – Kenny Wayne Shepherd does though!!
If there’s pain, there’s gain then I gained a lot from today’s run!! It has rained on a of all day today and when I set off on my run, I think the relative humidity was like 150% and the air was completely still and it certainly seemed that it had no desire to get into my lungs! Needless to say it was one of those runs when you just try to trick yourself, well if I only make 3 miles I’ll be happy, oh 3 down I can make one more mile, 3.5 only one half mile to go, a snap!! Before you know it you’re done, both the four miles and you!! First mile 10:22, acceptable, second mile 10:35 still ok, third mile 11:32 ouch! Fourth mile 12:25 and no I didn’t walk any of it! Average pace 11:14 which is I guess ok! You know what they say “At least you did it!” and I’ll live to run another day!! ….Now the soundtrack for the run that’s a different story……..
