Everybody's Free (reprieve)

Distance: 4.6 miles
Time: 40m01s

Starting to increase the mileage and speed again, today called for a 40 minute "steady" run, and tomorrow suggests 75 minutes "brisk", although not too sure what the difference is there. Then I think a rest day and a more gentle 30 minute run on Saturday - followed by 160 minutes on Sunday which I reckon would be 16 miles. 18 next weekend, then 20, then taper down to the big day in April!

I was thinking of trying another wiggly run round the village today, but in the end opted for simple laps of the village instead, running mostly on the verges again where possible to give my knees a bit of a rest. Trusting my Garmin's readout today (after all it had spotted I'd started my run outside my own house, not from someone else's back garden!), I ran a steady pace of 8m39s, 8m42s, 8m36s & 8m45s for the first 4 miles, and then carried on round the lap until I'd reached a round 40 minutes, then I walked back.

Justgiving have a competition to enter a Marathon related video. So I've turned my Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) parody into a video and entered it here.
