Awesome Run

Went for a run in town today with Nic. We ran the same track that the Santa Fun Run was on. Now apparently I ran the fun run in 31mins. After today I am not entirely sure I did. I didn't have my phone with me on the fun run, so I am pretty certain we just guessed how long it took us. Today I ran a lot more of the track and I definitely ran quicker but it took 40mins, so I think we guessed wrong on the fun run.

Part way through the 2nd km Nic decided it was time for me to try and beat my PB of 7:15min for a km. I was up for the challenge and was pretty certain I could do it. At the end of the km I had run it in 7:19min, SO ANNOYED! As I started walking again I decided that I was determined to beat my PB. I knew I could beat it and was going to make myself do it!

I think Nic was a little surprised that I was willing to try and beat it so soon after running. I started the km a little too quickly and became too puffed to keep running. Nic wouldn't let me slow to a normal walk and set the pace for me to keep at to beat my PB. I power walked to keep up with Nic. He then made me start running once I was getting to slow. Nic would let me know how far I had left to go and pushed me to keep me going. I made the final km in 7min! A new PB! I was pretty chuffed with myself but I also realise with out Nic pushing me I wouldn't have done it.

I absolutely loved running like this. Nic pushing me to make me work harder. I much prefer to run in this way and I know that by putting this confession on here that Nic will push me more often but in my opinion that can only be a good thing and I look forward to it.
