Kata lead the run and although she had a rough idea of where we were going, we did basically make it up as we went along. Running up the hill was tough. I struggled with that. I struggled a bit not knowing what I was doing next or where I was going. It's mentally tough. Also my 'Blerch' shirt chafed a bit - sore nips :-( I think perhaps it's not a shirt for runs > 5km.
I'd definitely do this run again. It's a great distance and a good challenge. It'll be better next time knowing where I am going.
As usual it's great to run with Kata. I really enjoy it and I hope we an do it regularly. After Kata's PB on Saturday maybe she'll have her running mojo back? :-)
Tonight I plan to do speed sessions at Inverleith Park. I am thinking, Speed Mondays, and Hill Wednesdays. Let's see how I get on with that.
N.B. We had planned a run to The Pentlands but forgot that we had left the car out in town last night so we abandoned that and incorporated picking up the car into this run instead. As a strange consequence, I was running in my Nike Free 'barefoot' shoes. I had stopped running in these because they don't support my ankle. Anyway, I ended up with chafed big toe as well as chafed nips. A good reminder as to why the Nike shoes are for walking about only and not for running in.
