A little further
I decided during the week that I would try and do my first run more than a half maybe 14 or 15 anyway I worked it out from my home to leeds via 618 and 72 bus routes would take approx 13 miles well I thought why not do it in time to do the parkrun in hyde park. the only problem was the early start and the time but what the hell I could get a snooze in the afternoon, so alarm woke me at 5 am and out of the door by 6am was the plan id never run the streets of bradford at this early hour before and it was a pleasant experience, quiet and peaceful I stopped a couple of times at mcdonalds thankfully open early for loo breaks, and trotted on towards leeds, starting in the dark when I got to the park the starlings were singing and I had 20 mins or so to wait for the parkrun to start and Id done 13 miles, at the start I saw Kay and Liz they said they would help me round and didnt they just, it hurt everything hurt this was new ground for me, Kay said I was a marathon runner, that kept me going, I had a winge about work, and got round I thank you both , after I had full breakfast naughty but nice, I should have had a more healthy option but once in a blue moon wont hurt, I am grateful to Diane for a much appreciated lift home, its all good if a little sore, :-)

Last night lead run the run club we had a good turnout and I was bit nervous , though everyone was really good. We did a 25min tempo run out and back in the hope that we all arrive back at the same time and on the whole it worked, hard work though my legs felt heavy then I realised id done 23 miles in 4 days so that was ok really. some newbies are doing really well indeed am impressed, hope the two lads return it would be brilliant to have them running for us, one wants to do london in under 3, soooo good, and the other is a really useful runner. I hope that I didnt put anyone of last night , cos it was quite hard. it was good though all good.
I am wondering who to run for in the G.N.R. wether to stay with previous or to perhaps marie curie hospice, I cant decide yet. best make a decision soon though as it looms.
