Distance: 4.86 milesTime: 54:40
I went for a run this morning with a mate I used to work with (Jeremy). I wasn't sure how fit he was going to be, luckily he was OK. I had shown him a few of the runs I had done a couple of weeks ago and he fancied doing the above route (Brancepeth - Willington - Oakenshaw - Brancepeth).
When I got to the car park, Jeremy was already there and there was a few cars there. Theer was some horse event going on.
We set off and I tried to keep a steady pace, I think Jeremy at first wanted to go a bit faster but I knew he would struggle if he did. We kept a slow but steady pace until we got to Willington and started up the hill towards Oakeshaw. Jeremy struggled up the hill and when we got to the top of the first he asked me to stop, so we walked for a 100 yards or so before setting off again. After that we kept running all the way back. I walked the same section when I did the run last year although I walked for further then. I fet so much better today and didn't need to walk at all.
When we got near the very end I totally upped my pace and sprinted the last 300 metres or so, leaving Jeremy behind I thought he would of done the same but he must of been more tired than I realised.
I enjoyed the run and hopefully he will want to go out again. Feel a bit more positive about next weeks run now :-)

Horner do you need to tell the world of your exploits!! Must say next day legs were siezed up, what i was expecting was around a 3 mile run not 4.9 mile run. Anyway surprised myself as hadnt been running for a while (3 - 4 days) but next time i will have my Linford Christie sprint ready and plenty more in the tank - just bring it :-) Only joking Horner.
