I accidentally ran for just under 7.5km this morning!
I had this 6km route all mapped out (hadnt tackled that distance before) but as Stella does she got lost! I'm not sure what happened - 1 min I'm running around the Arden St Football ground (former home of the Nth Melbourne Kangaroo) and then suddenly I'm running towards Macauly train station! After running around in a big circle not knowing where I was (except that I was near the lost dogs home!) I got my bearings and worked out at what point I got lost and continued my run.
I knew I was up for a bigger distance when I looked at my watch and found I'd been going for 40 mins and wasnt anywhere near home... getting home took me 56 mins and when I went upstairs and mapped my course again I found I had gotten lost to the tune of 1.5km! Funnily enough if I had aimed at what I did I'd have convinced myself there was no way I was capable of it and ended up walking part of the way.... but bce it was all impromptu I didnt have to stop.
Granted 56mins is a pretty shocking time for 7 and a half kms but I'm not fussed at the moment.
Oh and yesterday I went to a meet up with Calorie King people. I actually walked into the cafe, stood in the middle and then walked out as I didnt know who they were! Then I stood outside and called Matt and finally got up the guts to walk over to the table I assumed was the right one and after that it was ok.
