I lied to myself last night
and told myself I would only run to the park and then come home but then when I got to the park I told myself to run around it and then to run another mile on a very long route home.

Did I mention I'm running a half marathon in about 2 and a half weeks?

I saw you ran eight miles the other day
Which means you've overtaken me in the training stakes. I am impressed, and angry. And tired.

It was 8.1 miles.
I had done 3.5 miles around the park when I had to stop and sit down and get angry with myself for five minutes, then I picked myself up and made myself run another 4 and a half. But it was 1 hour 35 actual running time.

Good work
Keep this up and you'll kick the arse off a half marathon.

I felt really good last night, doing 4.6 miles in 47 minutes
which made a welcome change to how I normally feel when I finish.

Define "really good"
As in "not completely and totally fucked" or "pleased with oneself for the achievement"?

The second is great, the first is like some kind of near-mythical holy grail

As in I got home and still felt strong and not all that tired
and this morning my legs aren't all that sore.
