This Blog started out as a record of my efforts to compete in the Gt Eastern Half Marathon 2006. Since then I entered but had to withdraw from Flora London Marathon 2008 due to injury. After having to take months off to recover I am now ready and willing to become a runner again!

Week Nine - Day 4


These Saturday runs come round so quickly!

Today, I had Rhona again for company.... although she had run 9 miles yesterday, she said she would give it a go today - well done, Rhona. I certainly would have found it hard work to run two consecutive days, and long runs at that. I wanted to run 11-12 miles but had worked out a route where I run the first 3-4 miles and then pick Rhona up to run the remaining 8 miles. As it happened, I only ran 3 miles before getting to Rhona's - the route I had gone on was a bit shorter than I had anticipated. Anyway, that was okay. Filling up my water bottle we went on our way....

It was certainly lovely having some company - we talked a bit, more at the start than the end! The pace was good, steady at first but then slowing a bit for the last 2-3 miles - I think yesterday's run was catching up on Rhona. I felt good, just running within myself and not puffing and panting. WOW, who would have thought it a few weeks ago - 11 miles and still ready to run some.....

Time: 1:49:15
Distance: 11 miles

Show all the statistics for this week's runs

LOL, I think I have major distance v. times discrepancies in my runs - 3 x 5 mile runs - all very different times!
