I was just in the process of making a quick round of cheese on toast to eat at my desk when I realised that I was supposed to be running today. I only had a 40 minutes window of opportunity if I wanted to have time to shower before I needed to be out the door, so the completed cheese on toast went in the fridge and I went on the running machine.
I didn’t even have time to put Kiss FM on to accompany me so I had to put up with the sound of my feet as I did some fast intervals… hardly intervals though, as I was only going from 7mph to 8mph to 9mph to 8mph and then back round again.
As I reached the 5-mile mark I was surprised to see the time… 38 minutes, 43 seconds. One second faster than Friday last week. I really do hate racing myself, as I DO like to win… which means that the task can only get harder from here on in!
BTW, the cold cheese on toast was hard to swallow while I was running around the house trying to shower & out earlier, but I’ve just eaten the other half of it now and it was quite tasty.
