...I can't think of anything else to say, I'm so stunned. I am now eating pizza, in the morning, which I don't think I've ever done before

Wow! What was you furthest run before? I ran my first 5Km run last week and was shocked I managed it.

Well done you.

10km (6.2 miles) on Monday. It's getting a bit silly - three weeks ago I was jumping up and down because I'd done 3km. I think I'm just doing it to show my brain that such things are possible, so it will shut up when I start doing speed training

Don't you just feel awesome!?! I love running long distance. It's an amazing feeling. I've done marathons before, but that's just too much wear and tear. My favorite is the 1/2 marathon. Long enough to feel like you've really accomplished something but not so long that you feel broke down and busted at the end. Congrats to you! Enjoy your pizza. :drinker:

I can't believe you have upped the Km's so fast. Maybe I an too although my athritis is hurtning in my hip now for the first time in ages and I don't know if it was the run that did it.

Congratulations, that is so awesome, you're really revving along there! I hope to get there some day. Pretty fun when you realize you can do it, high five to ya!

No, me neither. I must have a long-distance runner fighting to get out of me!

Don't you just feel awesome!?!

Yes! Yes, actually, I do. I seem to get very bound up in all kinds of silly stuff like the fact it was slow, or that my parents don't 'get it', or that a colleague at work always bangs on about how he's gone quicker and further...but you know what, I need to stop with all of that and remind myself that I just ran nine miles without stopping!! How ridiculous I'd be thinking about anything else :-S
