Today I headed out on the road to cover an eight mile circuit from Stanford to Charney Bassett and back via Gainfield.
Mile 1 - 11m27s
Mile 2 - 11m27s
Mile 3 - 15m01s
Mile 4 - 12m43s
Mile 5 - 13m42s
Mile 6 - 13m49s
Mile 7 - 14m20s
Mile 8 - 12m23s
A bit up and down, as my leg hurt a bit on miles three and seven, but I'm glad I kept going. I think if I'd have been running laps of the village I may have been tempted to stop before running so far. Once I'd run 8 miles, I kept walking for another 15 minutes, to take the time on my feet to 2 hours. I'm a third of the way to doing the marathon distance!
Yesterday
I decided to invest in some Skins™ long tights. The half tights don't cover the knee, and I want to give my leg as much benefit as possible. They are very comfy to run in, and I hope they will aid the recovery of my leg, so that I'll be fully fit to run the Half Marathon in 4 weeks...A day off running tomorrow, so it's back in the pool to see if I've learnt any more about how to swim the front crawl.
