This morning I got up at 6am to go for a run with Nic. Since daylight saving stops us from running at night, I suggested that we go for a run before he starts work. Hence the 6am wake up.
I arrived at Nic's place at 6:30am. We ran along the local creek near Nic's house. I really enjoyed the run. We started off slow but that is expected as we had to wake up and and warm up. The first km we ran we did in 7:19mins, which I didn't think was too bad for that time of the day.
During the next km Nic suggested we try for a fast km next. I was fine with it not expecting to go overly fast. As we were running along Nic was being a pain the arse telling me to run faster or I wasn't going to make a good time. My legs were so tired, I couldn't go faster. When I thought I was almost at the end I managed to find a bit more energy but when we passed where I thought the end of the km was I started to slow down. Nic was on at me the whole time. We reached the end of the km and I heard the GPS woman tell us we had just run that km in 6:15mins!!! WTF! I thought I was running slow. I am pretty certain that Nic was trying to get me to beat 6mins and I think that if he hounds me on our runs like he did today it will happen.
I do like being pushed and I seem to run better when under pressure. I am looking forward to my next run and will definitely do another early morning run as it is a great way to wake up for the day.
