A rambling commentary on my running and a log of what I've been up to with my training. It, hopefully, will show my progress and improvements towards my running goals and enjoyment of keeping myself fit and healthy.

I am tired today. I did 11 miles yesterday which is my longest run since June. I still had the club run in my legs though and it was the hardest one I've done for a bliddy long time. Good mentally as I could have given up at 4 miles but wanted to do the distance so kept on going, even though it turned into run/walk, helped by plenty of water and sports drink and now Windsor holds no terrors for me, after this run I know I can keep going, no matter what. My legs feel like jelly now and I think a couple of days rest are in order.
I forgot to take my watch with me so HRM/stats didn't happen, which is probably the best thing I could have done as I couldn't watch the minutes ticking by or see how much my HR was soaring in the hard bits. I don't think I have taken so long over a run since I started 8 years ago even though speed has never been my thing!

11 miles
approx 2.5 hours
