Quick run

Today's run was scheduled as 50 minutes fast (race?). I checked out races for today and none were really of a suitable distance in the South East of England area.

I decided to do a circular run from my house. I did a different run from normal, out to Cheam, across Nonsuch Park, up to North Cheam and round th back of Sutton, it measured 7.6 miles. I treated the run as a race, I did a proper warm up and wore running shorts and vest.

I ran it hard and was tired at the end. However I was quicker than I thought I would be and I'm glad to see the progress.

The worst thing about today's run was the chafing on the inside of my thighs. I forgot how much it hurts if I run in running shorts and forget the vaseline.

I won't be making that mistake again!
