Yes...I officially can use the F-word...my mum said so!
She wrote me an email in reply to my last blog on 26/09 that after running 13k the F-word is allowed...haha. Feel a lot better now.
And today I actually finished Rocky Style...you know the Rocky movie right...victorious feeling, after an hour and half (!!!!) of running I sprinted the last bit up the hill, high fived with my host for completing the toughest run yet.
Mean while back in the real world....
No, I am kidding, the above is actually true. We started at 9.45 ish and initially we planned a 1 hr and 20 minute run, which I in my head was divided into 2 x 40 minute runs...and then I said, really I did!, why don´t we make it 1hr and 30 minutes...nice one, very smart too, since when am I supposed to set the targets, ain´t I competitive enough just by myself :).
It was tough though and my calves, thighs, knees, actually my whole body including brain did have serious conversations with myself during this run and it is with a little pride I can finally say that I now know what it means to "think of nothing", as that is exactly what my brain was doing after 50 minutes of running, knowing I still had to go for 40 more!
We had a nice pace too, "Army Pace" he called it! Which sounds better that what it actually is. Basically in the army they run with roughly 20kg on their back and have to be able to enter battle after the run, so they run nice, steady, and slow...hmmmm I didn´t have the 20kg nor did I enter into a battle straight after in case you are wondering.
Two more days in the sunshine and then I am back in the UK...
I´ll keep you posted, for now I am going to think a little longer of nothing ;-)
