In preparation I dragged the kids out of bed early this morning, chucked two on their bikes, one in the pram and set off on foot. While I was out, I wanted to see how my 1 km run* was doing. We've only just become acquainted, and I'd like to become really good friends :-). On my last attempt I managed 5 mins 50 seconds, which for me...is flying like the wind (let's be real...I am no Usain Bolt and nor will I ever be....good to know your limitations, yes?). Today, however, I forgot that I'd be pushing the pram. It is no excuse, but does kinda alleviate my disappointment some. The first 1 km I managed in 6 mins 20 seconds, but when I ran* it on the way back I only managed 7 mins 10 seconds.
We were out for 1 hour 20 mins in total, and I burnt 847 calories all up. Gotta be happy with that!
If you are about to start Round 1, good luck and fly like the wind!
* run and ran are generous terms for what it is that I do...plod and plodded might perhaps be more accurate descriptions!
