Run baby run: Part 6

Okay. Are you all sitting down?

I ran for one hour this morning. ONE. HOUR.

STRAIGHT.

I stepped off the treadmill sopping in sweat but smiling at my achievement. One hour of continuous running with very little back pain (started tweaking at about the 4.5km mark).

I completed 7-something kilometres of running. Running 5kms in 41 mins. An improvement of 1 1/2 mins from my last run and an overall 4 mins off my first timed 5km run. Sweeeet!

My fitness keeps on improving. Strangely enough, it suprises the hell out of me just what my body can do these days. Like running. Holding a full 'plank' posture. Doing a proper push up.

How can I not love the skin I'm in?! I mean, this wee bod can break into a run or bend itself into a pretzel at the drop of a hat if I demand it .... all the while it continues to slowly burn the lard off my arse. I'm asking this baby to multi-task and you know what? She's coming up with the goods. Lovin' it!
