Bike ride inspired today’s 10mile run

We went for a 13 mile bike ride yesterday in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside it was perfect weather for it. I felt all went well and when I got up this morning thought that I should now go for 15k, 1k more than last week, as I approached the place on the canal where I would normally turn round I felt that I could carry on a bit further to the next set of locks.

Running back from the locks I decided to add a little bit more in and suddenly realized that I would be at 15.5k where I would normally finish which seemed a shame having been advised by Grannyhugs that 16.1 would be 10 miles I quickly added a few more little runs and a double back in to reach the magic 16.1 my stamina was ok and yes the final k’s were a little longer but I was really thrilled with the overall pace of 7.37 /km.

Off to the sister site now to ask for my 10mile badge - what a morning!
