What a difference a couple of days makes

As I outlined in my last marathon training blog, I ran like an absolute beginner on Tuesday and achieved nothing except getting my shoes muddy. Today, however, what a change! I met Andrew at 4pm and had a great run just before it got dark. We did about 7 km in the amazing time (for us) of 26 min 38 secs. This included a very steep long hill. We were both quite taken aback at how fast we were running but just kept it going. I loved it, loved it, loved it!
