We have traveled to Trent's Mum's place for Christmas and I decided it was a good opportunity to take Trent out for a walk. I went a different way to where I walked when I came up here a couple of months ago, but because Trent was with me he was fine with me running along the river.
Trent is not a fan of running so I wasn't sure he would overly enjoy himself. He still doesn't understand why I enjoy it so much. I started off running and as it was down hill I thought it would make it a little easier for Trent. He still didn't enjoy it though. I think I went out a bit hard too early though. I ran the first 1km in 8.51mins (I am sure the hill helped though).
After the first km it went down hill. I blame the bugs, the copious amounts of bugs. It was horrible. Mosquitoes, moths, and any other flying sort of bug. There were so many bugs. There were places on the run that I felt like I couldn't inhale for fear of inhaling my weight in bugs. If it wasn't the bugs it was the revolting stench the lingered around the river. It seriously smelt like we were running around in a dirty old service station toilet. It was truly disgusting.
After the first 2.5km my leg started to hurt a bit, I am not sure if it was because I went hard early or just my leg flaring up a bit again. I then decided to slow down a bit in the hopes of not making it worse.
As we were heading home I decided to do a bit of sprint (so much for saving my leg). There is me sprinting whilst Trent just jogs along side of me. Damn him for having longer legs than me! My leg was hurting even more after the sprint, so the walk wasn't as long as I had hoped.
I have been icing my leg since we got home and hopefully I will be good for my next run. Not far off 200km, so I have decided that I have to do that before the end of the year. Shouldn't be too hard hopefully.
Distance travelled today: 4.16km
Distance travelled so far: 194.19km
Distance left to travel: 25,559.81km
