I emailed Fit Mark yesterday to say that I seemed to be running slower than ever - I thought I'd done 3.5k but apparently SLOWER than when I was completely rubbish at the running bit of the triathlon, which was 5k, and which I walked a lot of. Am I going backwards? Weird... Anyway, Fit Mark very kindly emailed me back to say that, yes, I would be running much slower on hills and slippery tracks, and he'd also (this is the genius bit) used Google Earth to work out where I'd actually been was 4.5k. That's NEARLY 5K. Woo Hoo!!! That means I should be able to do the Santa 5k without too many problems. Apart from the oversized Santa suit... Perhaps I should go out for a training run in the full outfit? That would give the drivers on the main road something to talk about when they got home!
So BIG THANKS to Fit Mark for being encouraging and useful and generally a genius - what a star!
