As I write this blog in sitting on the sofa with the sun beaming through the blinds... Not quite the scene I just had during my run!
Before leaving this morning it had rained but it was looking like the sun was going to start heading out.... Arrived at the usual spot, made my preparations and started my run... Within 2 minutes it started hammering down. So, when leaving the house I was aiming for an 8 miler and just 2 minutes in I had set myself up to only do a couple of miles.
Ok, so it continued to rain and as I was approaching the 1 mile marker about to turn around, I saw Joanne Popham and decided to keep going. The rain was intermittent.
I ended up getting to Singelton Park and headed back. By this point I'd realised I'd run faster as could feel my cheeks burning! At least there weren't so many spectators out today.
So, plan of action is to head out again tomorrow and get in a 8.5 mile run... Maybe a bit further if I'm feeling brave!
Here are today's results... Which show an increase of speed! Yay.
Distance: 3.77mi
Time: 00:42:35
Pace: 11:18min/mi
Speed: 5.31mi/h
If this was a 5k run it would probably be my fastest run ever!
JUST 1 WEEK TO GO FOR THE 10K! AND 4 WEEKS TO THE CARDIFF HALF MARATHON!
