First Real Road Run

On a very nice spring evening after work I stopped on my way home at a park near the office scaring the wildlife in my shorts. This was the start of what has been my longest run in terms of distance and time.

The path was very uneven and after 1km my legs started to tighten up but kept on pushing at an average pace of 9km/h for just a little over 4km in 27 minutes.

At the end of the end of the run i was not going to be ill and from a fitness point of view could have carried on. However, I did stop when i did as I had a small pain in my knee and all my leg muscles had become very tight. So thinking it was a good first step and that i should stop. The morning after is now interesting as i have very achy legs as if it was the first time they ever exercised, so just goes to show the difference between a gym and the road.
