Just a few more sleeps to the big day!
Did what was possibly my last run before the big day last night. Was late getting out and it was dark but there were loads of other people out running too.
Was determined to smash my times and speed from previous runs. For some reason I had loads of energy yesterday.
Well, I did it! I took over a minute off my last 5 mile run (and the run before that I'd taken 7 minutes off my time!!!) and managed to get under 11 minutes per mile! Something I've not done before!
Distance: 5.15mi
Time: 00:56:29
Pace: 10:58min/mi
Speed: 5.47mi/h
I really should get another run in before the weekend but not sure if that is going to be possible as I'm having my sports massage on Thursday afternoon/evening - so tonight is my only chance.
I've checked the weather for Sunday and it isn't looking great. Its going to be heavy rain in Swansea and Light Rain in Cardiff. As the day gets closer I'll have a better idea. Just need some tips on how to cope with the rain as I've heard some horror stories!
As I've enjoyed running so much I've made a concious decision to take it up permanently. Will be seeking some expert advice so that I can make proper progress. Need to find some other runs to take part in now!
