After a particularly stressful day at work I came home to a pile of ironing! By the time I had finished it was 6 O Clock and I was so tired all I wanted to do was sit down and cry!
After a few minutes sitting down feeling myself sinking further into a hole I decided that despite the exhaustion I would feel better if I forced myself to go for a run.
It was raining heavily but I didn't let this deter me!
I got changed into my running gear and headed out the door.
One thing I hadn't taken into consideration was the fact it was the 5th November! As I was running along there was fireworks going off left, right and centre! It was also fairly difficult running as there is a lot of fallen Autumn leaves on the paths at the moment and the rain had made them extremely slippery. Not exactly the most relaxing of runs!
However, I managed 3.62 miles at an average 9.42 minute mile pace.
I also felt 100% better afterwards!
I have dabbled with Triathlons and have decided that for now I am going to concentrate on running and Open Water Swimming! I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the UK and to have Lake Windermere as my local playground!
