In line with my comments yesterday, I decided to go on a longer run today. I went out with the idea that speed didn't matter as much - I just needed to spend some time on the road. And, that I did. The run was 55 mins long and it was at a good pace. I probably don't have time to go for a run tomorrow, because all of the stuff that I'm doing. Perhaps on Wednesday.

If all things go smoothly with my traineeship in the Netherlands, then I am not going to be here for the half marathon that I just entered! I wonder if I can get a refund? I doubt it. So, maybe I could just let one of my running friends take the entry and run in the race for free.

I went for a short run today in the evening. It is nicer to run at this time when the effects of humid weather are not so apparent. My legs felt pretty heavy, though. I think this is because I am not going on any long runs at the moment. If I did, then I would be building up the stamina for running, and my legs wouldn't ache as much.

If I'm not going to be here for the half mara, then I need to look for some events in the Netherlands to enter! That can be one of my goals for the first few months.
