Tonight, I was really pushed for time and only had about 40 minutes to fit a run in which should be more than enough time to get up to five miles in, except I had to take Ruby with me because I hadn’t walked her so 40 minutes doesn’t get us very far.
In fact, in just over 38 minutes, we only managed 2.5 miles!!!! My average pace was two minutes per mile SLOWER than the pace I ran 32 miles in on Saturday! Seriously, I might as well have just walked.
She’s fine to run with if it’s really early and I’m up on the tops with nobody around so I can let her off the lead. That way, when she stops to sniff and pee on everything I can just carry on and let her catch up but when it’s teatime on a sunny day when all and sundry are out with their dogs, I have no chance because I have to keep her strapped to me so when she stops, I stop.
Ruby, I think it’s time to hang up your running paws!
The good news about today’s run is that my legs felt OK after the Hobble. They were a little tired running uphill but not as bad as I had expected. Hopefully they’ll be back fighting fit by the Two Crosses on Sunday.
Total distance – 2.5 miles
