Oh I did laugh at reading this because this would so happen to you!!!. I am sure they thought you were a professional in your gear because you are a tall slender streak of a woman and I can imagine you being a marathon runner x

Haha, I remember when we used to do “cross-country running” at school – truly a torturous way to spend a morning, especially when you’re a chubby child – there were some kids in my year who used to wait until we were around the corner from the school running along a field with a big hedge. They’d sneakily look around to ensure no teacher saw them and then duck through a hole in the hedge. They’d stay behind the hedge smoking and chatting for the whole run and then just pop out again in the middle of the pack on our return!

My personal trainer use to do that to me! I just wanted to run and focus but he’d constantly ask me questions hahaha gosh just leave me alone 😛 You’ve done a great job waking up super early and running twice a week! Well Done Charlie! xx

What an experience! And that’s quite a distance for your first run in a long time. You really did do incredibly well – congrats!

ah crap 6.8 kms in 38 mins is too much!! wow Charlie I am impressed that you did that. Your story reminds me of a race in college time. no idea why but I had signed up and I was about o compete against those kids from grammar sports school. Guess what? I was last and completly out of breath when I finally reached the end. Again hats off, you are awesome!

Charlie, your opt out thought of slipping into your house unnoticed tickled me greatly. 🙂 Way to go for sticking it out! Your body will thank you later, even if it’s protesting now. (This, from someone whose never run farther than a mile.) You inspire me.

Charlie, my goodness! That sounds like a tough workout for regular runners, never mind your first day! I’m impressed you didn’t duck in your gate 😉 What a stellar effort – congratulations xx

Wow! You are incredible! I wouldn’t have got past the woman’s car and if I had, I would definitely have run into my house, never to return. I bet your quads are sore. I would have to lie down for a month to recover.
