So I ran a marathon this week – although it did take 5 days, and I walked for 3 miles of it..
Had a couple of five milers and this w/e risked a 9 miler – went really well. Not sure if my leg is maning up, or my body is getting used to the shoes, or the fact that I am attempting to run with a straighter back, and smaller strides but something means that I managed the whole 9 miles today with pretty much no knee pain – ace.
Keeping to a slightly slower pace until I found myself being passed by a girl – when I had to speed up to attempt to keep up – well that lasted about a mile or so and saw my lap average go up a bit, but then tiredness and sensibility kicked in and I plodded on, slowly stalking her…
So out to Redwick, back to Undy and down under the motorway and up, up, up and down to the shop. Luckily the rain had just stopped, and all in all it was very nice.
Miles: 26
Beers: 11 Stella, 3 Peroni
