I’m starting to get a little worried. Not long ago Dad managed a 47 miler, then this weekend Ian cycled from Woking to Locks Heath, some 60+ miles. Whats the longest distance I’ve cycled so far? …(cough)… 33 miles. Both times I’ve cycled 33 I knew I could go on further but I still don’t know how much further. Anyway, my paranoia forced me to take up running after work. Hopefully this will now become a regular event. I know from recent experience that cycling and running are two very different disciplines and being good at one doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be good at the other but I figure it will be still good exercise. I have been cycling quite a while now and thought my level of fitness was improving quite a bit. Then I tried running and found my legs turned to jelly far quicker than I expected. I ran round the local park today which really handily works out to be almost exactly a mile round the perimeter so including the distance to and from I clocked up 3.7 miles (about 6k). Not far but that felt quite comfortable so maybe next time I’ll do four laps, we’ll see. Thanks again to all those that have sponsored us so far, we are now at the 10% totalizer mark!!!
