Wasn't prepared to miss out on the free Cardio Tennis on offer or miss my 'long' run (Well 5 miles).
So I set the Alarm early and went out at 6:55 - visited the garage for water and some fizzy sugar gums. Arrived early (7:15 - 7:20 ish) After a little messing around with getting the right music. I set out on my run.
The sorting out my MP3 player allowed another early morning runner to get out ahead of me, because of this I went the alternative route around the resevoir to follow the man who left before me - I sound like a stalker!!! When I set off he was nearly 1/2 of a mile ahead of me. I decided to use him to pace myself, and thankfully I did as at 2-3 miles I was so tempted to stop and walk.
By the start of mile 4 I was closer to hime so I decided to try and run him down. I failed but after the 5 miles he beat me by 5 seconds... I was very pleased as based on chatting to him after and his look I realise he was a serious runner. We had a chat on the way back to the car - He told me his resevoir time 39 minutes I thought I did 34 mins but wasn't convinced that my watch was correct! But I guess it was.
Then rushed back to shower and change into Tennis gear - My new Babolat tennis top - in red and I am not worried as I no longer stick out so badly (Or maybe I don't mind) It was a half hour taster session of Cardio Tennis. Really enjoyed it 350kcal - or 3.5 WW bonus points but that is a bonus it was just great fun. What a shame I haven't got another class until the end of April. I will have to go to a local gym to do a circuits class.
