Day 38 - Tuesday 20th July: Charney 8

Run: 7.81 miles
Time: 1 hour 15 minutes 34 seconds



Just a gentle run this evening. Supposed to be 65 minutes, but that was still working from the "beginners" marathon training plan. Since I'm now a bit more than a beginner, I decided to up it by ten minutes. I even tried a few fartleks too - but nothing too serious. I chose a few telegraph poles and a roadsign along the way and ran faster to them for probably not much more than about 10-15 yards each time. I was conscious to not try to up the overall pace too much, until the last mile or so when I ran a bit faster for longer sections.

Overall a pretty good run, apart from the bit where I got a small fly in my mouth. I'm not sure if I managed to spit it out, swallow it or breath it in! Whatever - it upset my pace a little, half way through. Stupid blimmin things, what are they for?

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
