Tuesday night was my second night out with Victory Athletics club and it was as good, if not better, than the first outing. Tuesdays are straight runs and Thursdays are training nights to build speed and strength.
Tuesday was a five and half mile run to Emsworth and back and I was teamed with two girls who are just a little bit quicker than me over a 10k distance. I was just a little bit proud of myself... who runs five and half miles on a Tuesday night after work? oh thats right, I do! It may not be a major accomplishment for some people but for me it was kind of a big deal. We completed the run in just under the hour, including racing three kids over the trainline bridge. Luckily this was close to the finish as it took it out of me!
The only problem was that Tuesday was Valentines day so after doing all this running, the chippie and I went for a McDonalds, our valentines day tradition.
I have to say though, running followed by McDonalds is a bit of a winning combination! And at least my body was in ultra calorie burning mode so the effects weren't as horrific as if I hadn't done the run.
