So I was sacked this week. Well perhaps not sacked, more told that my role will be no longer required in January, that no one is replacing me, but I need to arrange a “hand over” – presumably to the person not replacing me? Anyway the good news is that I already have a new job (well I am on a bit of a promise) which will start the Monday after my department gets rid of me.
So to the run then, well had a couple of days off after last Sunday to recover, and was back out Weds, Thurs, Friday and then again today. A couple of 5 milers a 3 and the long run of just over 8 today. Feel pretty good, knee isn’t hurting at the moment, although it was tweaking at the end of today’s run, and the 8 miles went well.. Only need to be able to do that 8 times and we’ll be done.
Getting the pace down to (or up to) about 9:30 min/mile now. So less stress on the knees and a decent pace for the medium term as the miles increase. I will probably be looking at maybe an 11 or 12 minute pace for the real thing??
Went to a party last night, had a couple of guys called “Brotherhood” I think – they were pretty good, and we are off for afternoon tea, then a tasting menu tonight.
Got a week off now, so may be running in some exotic locations this week! ;o)
