Ran the first of what I guess you might call the long distance runs on Monday with Tom. It was great running with him since he is a speedy man and also massively motivated so we got through it together, with my pacing and his determination. Very happy when we'd done it, but very tired. Got some muscle spasming in my left quad(?) at about mile 13 for a second or two, but we slowed down and got round in a good time, for me anyway. Dad said that the spasm is because of overworking the muscle without enough carbohydrates in the body (or some such madness) which makes sense since I hadn't really eaten properly beforehand - two bits of toast, a sandwich and a mars bar don't really constitute "carb loading".
