The sun was rising, the temperature a little chilly but it didn't take us long to warm up. Knowing I had a running buddy to head out with me, I decided to tackle some of the country roads around Feilding. I had run them before but not for about 3 years. I heard my watch 'beep' over the first 4km and while we weren't worried about pace I did have a sneaky look and saw we were keeping a pretty steady pace of just over 6min/km. I also found that this time around, the roads didn't seem as difficult to run and I was really enjoying myself! 10km in and we were heading back into town. Our pace had stayed very constant. It seemed though that there was still some steam left in our legs and our pace quicken. It also seemed that we were both pushing ourselves and each other along to just keep on going. The kilometers just seemed to keep on coming and time was looking good. All of a sudden it was like "We are can make 20km, lets keep going!" and we did. To add to that, we did that 20km in under 2 hours!!
Gosh, it looks a long way when you look at it like that, and I guess 20km is a long way BUT... I'm so proud of how the run when. I'm so proud we stuck at it, we pushed ourselves along. We owned the run and I still had a smile at the end.
