Up to 4 miles, nearly

If you have been reading then you know that I have been obsessing over my running.

Yesterday was the day that I was supposed to finally up my run from 3 miles to 4 miles.

I got on the machine, set the distance and got the speed to around 7.5 minutes per mile.

Starting the run I felt great, at 1 mile I was good, 2 miles still good, then 3. I very sweaty and determined. I had also sped to about 6.9 minutes a mile, and was heading for a sub 29 minute time.

Then at approx 3.5 miles the machine just stopped! I was so annoyed. The timer was still ticking. I told a member of staff who really did not seem that bothered.

I did go onto another machine and run a 3/4 of a mile but it wasn't the same.

Maybe things are made to test us. I may not get a chance for another week and will be away from Tuesday until Saturday.
