Nice little long run... well pleased...

[AndyD]

Last day at work today so decided to have my long(ish) run after work at a new location. Weather was good, location was great, it got dark but hey ho.. had a great steady run for 8k the longest distance for me!!! I'm certainly getting into these longer runs as the pace suits me better. I took a few 1 minute walks towards the end, but thought that was ok as I was running for over an hour... told you I was slow and steady!

Back home... nice shower and then attacked a tub of smoked eel pate from our local smokery... yum yum!

Happy Christmas to one and all Thanks again for all the support since my life changed at the beginning of September and I started running

You started in Sept and you've done an 8K already? That's brilliant! Slow and steady is good, I'm slow too, and will be doing 8k in a couple of weeks too according to my plan. Merry Christmas

Best of luck with your 8k Curly... nice steady "talking" pace is my current technique

Happy Christmas

That's a great result. I fall into the slow category too. Takes me a while to get into the groove and then I can plod along nicely. Hoping to get a ling run in over Christmas now that I'm recovered from winter bug

[AndyD Graduate in reply to Sharonb9999]

Glad you're over your bug, there's a lot going around. I think we're the same... takes me a couple of K to get going and then I just plod away listening to some good music and enjoying the outdoors. I spent all my time following graduation trying to reduce my time for run... now I don't really care about time, just enjoying adding a bit of distance each run.

Well done on doing 8k. Sounds like a long way from where I'm sat! No idea what the pate would taste like but sounds like you enjoyed your well deserved treat

Merry Christmas!
