so close...

...and yet so far

Nothing dramatic, just that last night's run was 4.98 miles. I guess I could round it up to 5. But that would be cheating.
No, the greater achievement is that I went for run after work - it was a lot harder than going in the morning but I did it. Well done me.

I went the opposite way round the normal route and I think I prefer it - you get most of the long uphill draggy bits out of the way sooner. Plus it's a change of scenery.
So can I keep this up and aim for running 3 times a week? No reason not to. Apart from the usual aches and pains (although this morning I feel considerably less achy than I have been known to the day after. We shall see)

Oh, and I got new trousers yesterday which were really nice to run in - and they're quite baggy so they disguise my huge arse.
