My programme I'm following called for three 1 km runs at 85% effort - so I was wondering how fast I could go. I had to run in the dark again, and took 5 minutes 29 seconds and was pretty puffed after the 1 km! I resigned to the fact a long time ago that I would never be fast, and I'm not. But I guess that's not really the point is it?
The main point of this life is to get through it doing the best that you can. If I'm a fit, happy and healthy person that is nice to be around (I think?) then so what if I can't run fast.
And I got through running 3 km as fast as I could - actually I went a bit further by the time I warmed up, then cooled down.
I thought the last km might have been a bit faster as there was lightening in the sky above the hills in the distance - a bit freaky!

Well done for getting out there ... I didn't! ...
running 'fast' is all relative. Even Cam Brown doesn't run fast when compared to real marathoners (I don't think he's ever run a marathon btw) so the only comparison of 'fast' I do is to my previous attempts ... although if I keep putting off these runs I won't have anything to compare anyway :(
