I did something I'm not proud of today - when I was running along Pennine getting close to home, I was struggling so much and running so slow that I decided to stop and walk the last 300(?) meters home, rather than ruining my whole run pace. Even writing this I'm cringing at how pathetic that really is. It just shows how sometimes technology can be a real pain in the backside. Throughout my run today I had felt like I was running fast so when I slowed to an almost crawl going up the hill I decided to call it a day instead of persevering. It turns out, I wasn't even running fast anyway so I might as well have just carried on.
The run itself took me from 'Four Gates' over at Westhoughton where Duncan had dropped me off on his way to work. From there, I just ran along the A6 to Blackrod then along Station Road, up Lever Park Avenue and along Fearnhead onto Pennine Way where the above mentioned ridiculousness occurred!
I'm being a bit derogatory really about how poor my pace was because if I actually look into Strava properly it wasn't too bad, it's just that the hilly bit slowed me down a lot. I did spend a decent amount of time at my 'tempo' pace.
Total distance - 3.75 miles
