Seventh Heaven

I ran 7 miles today, in 75 minutes, and afterwards felt great! I could even have run a bit further .... well, maybe!
 
Mile 1 - 10m20s
Mile 2 - 10m43s
Mile 3 - 10m40s
Mile 4 - 10m45s
Mile 5 - 10m57s
Mile 6 - 10m56s
Mile 7 - 10m51s
 
This is a great achievement for me. I've run more than a quarter of a marathon on one go, and today I've managed to run at a very consistent pace!
This bodes very well. If I could keep today's pace up for the full 26.2 miles - I could be running the London Marathon in 4h41m, which is only just outside my target of 4h30m, and I still have another 97 days to train before the big day in April!!
 
Time for a cup of tea I think, I finished running over 3 hours ago, and I still feel dehydrated (even after half a litre of lucozade sport and a litre of milk).

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
