Running with W & D A C

Had a stressy day at work yesterday and needed to run! Decided to go for it and with encouragement from Robert set off for a session with Wellingborough & District Athletics Club. They were very friendly with the 'newbie' and I'd soon filled in the relevant form and set off with Alan's group. There were about 10 of us in the group, mainly ladies, who jogged out of the school grounds, did some warm-ups and set off through the industrial estate. Every so often the front runners would double back or wait for the others to catch up, so we all stayed together and didn't lose anyone. The pace was good for me, not too much in the way of hills and good to have company, and not feel vunerable running alone in the dark. Alan and some of the others were very friendly and chatted to me as we ran around the town. I was totally lost at times, but Alan guided us back in just under an hour, having successfully run nearly 5 miles. I was pleased with how I ran, I kept up with the pace, despite still having a cold and could have gone further. After some cool-down exercises I set off back for home. As Arnie famously said 'I'll be back!'
