"It's a blustery day" (said Pat)

Hurrah, today I've run my first run that didn't involve running round the same bit of road over and over again.
I plotted out a new "4 mile" route to do at lunchtime (for the next couple of weeks when my runs are still as short as 4 miles!).
The route is Milton Park - Sutton Courtenay - Milton village - Milton Park, and it's roughly a mile to each village, and back and then a mile round the park.

~Mile 1 - 9m36s
~Mile 2 - 10m24s
~Mile 3 - 9m23s
~Mile 4 - 11m15s

The wind was pretty fierce, from the West, which is what increased my pace on the third mile; and passing a colleague running the other way when I got back to Milton Park, who high-fived me gave me a boost too...!

The milepoints probably aren't too accurate, but overall I did it in a fraction under 41 minutes, which was good going.

Running 13.1 miles in memory of Carl

I ran the Silverstone Half Marathon on 15th March 2009. I managed the 13.1 mile course in 2 hours and 4 minutes. Not a bad effort for my first Half Marathon! I returned in 2010 to run it in 1 hour 54 minutes, and plan to do it again in 2011. I decided to run this in aid of The PSC Trust and PSC Support in memory of my brother Carl, who died from liver failure in November 1997. If you'd like to sponsor me for this - please email me at pscrun@ulen.me.uk PSC Trust
