An unorthodox running partner
Well the other half did me proud last night - I got a new route drawn up which was way better than previous routes and the run started really well.
Ok so I didn't run the entire way but I did get a good mile in before I needed the first break and that was only 1 minute at that, the next break was at a turn off that I wasn't sure of the location of so I slowed down to ensure I didn't miss it, the last break was up a big hill but I had managed to run up part of it.
I also gained a very unusual running partner at about half way round - the other half came by in the car and followed alongside me offering support and I must say it worked as I got a lot further than I would have on my own. I guess all that nagging I did about him not getting a helmet for the bike he owns so he could accompany me must have hit the guilt spot( Due to the injury sustained on that fateful day in Glen Coe he has been unable to run on hard surfaces hence I have badgered him like crazy to get on his bike and join me but he is missing a pump, a helmet and a light).
I was incredibly tired when I got back and was very grateful for the bath that the other half ran for me while I tried to peel off my sweaty garments. I had a lovely soak in the bath and then slept like a log.
Unfortunately it hurt quite a bit this morning - nothing injured though just a general feeling of "argh I worked hard last night" feeling. Thankfully I took the train out today so I didn't suffer much - well at least not until I got there and was told that after all our efforts they were going to buy from our competitors instead BOO HOO! So now I am on the hunt for a new opportunity.
