Dang that's impressive. I'd be dying and sweating like a pig. We'd have to have showers here at work before I could even consider doing that. Ha ha

We have showers at work, and that was the main reason I was able to start running, as I started to go out in my lunch hour at work.

Tonights run

Having a bit of an easy week, a it's my birthday tomorrow, and I'm in the process of emptying the loft out in prep for hopefully moving house soon.

Did another decent bike ride on Sunday morning as well

I did a half marathon training run around the business part at work last Sunday
I'll be doing the same this Sunday as well

7KM lunch run on Tuesday

and a quick 6.2KM tonight
Tonight's run as a PB on the "Ridgeway" course by over 30 seconds!

This is also quite interesting. I've done the Ridgeway run 112 times since I started running:

Tonight's 10KM around the business park at work
This was also a PB on the 10KM course I do at work, so the distance training is also paying off for the shorter speed work
