I spent last weekend in Milton Keynes visiting a friend before a meeting I had with the Open University on Monday. I’ve visited before but don’t really know my way around particularly well, so I hadn’t expected to be able to get a decent run in.

Carrie on running: Long runs

On Sunday I did my longest long run to date – I bossed out 11.8 miles in a slow-n-steady 2 hours 17 minutes and I have to say I’m pretty darned pleased with myself.

  • About Jessica’s blog

    Welcome to my CrossFit blog. Join me as I run, row, squat, swing, pull and push my way from a beginner in a box to CrossFit competency. I’ve always enjoyed keeping fit; general gym going combined with a fair amount of running has kept me going over the past few years, but now I crave a new challenge. So I’m giving CrossFit a go and bringing fellow Sportsisters along for the ride... Go hard, or go home.
