So I went to the class in the end yesterday. At the end, the instructor held up her right hand and everyone ran round and high fived her. I tried to run round her left hand side at the same time as she high fived my mate, but her left hand was raised faster than I could run, and it ended with me and my mate high fiving at the same time, which was possibly worse. As we were leaving my mate asked 'did you try to sneak round the back of her so you didn't have to high five?' - she knows how it stresses me out, but I still felt like a fool having to concede that that she was indeed correct.
Oh well.
Turns out I can't run the Bristol half marathon. Well I could but I'm not going to. It's one of my very best friend's graduation the day before, and I don't think 13 miles after such a massive celebration will do my heart any favours. I've decided to still train, and maybe run a different one, or maybe just run one in the gym. I've started at 10kms at 10km/hr. Nice round numbers. I think I'll alternate each week, either upping it by 1km or 0.5km/hr. I can't believe how fast those professional marathon runners run. They finish running faster than I sprint. Amazing.
High five; bleurgh
