7 miles done!

I said I'd report back following todays run and I am pleased to say I did manage the 7 miles I'd planned. It was slow (I blame it on all the hills and there were alot of them!)...90 mins. The good news whilst I don't feel that I could have gone faster I do think I could have carried on at the end for a bit longer at that pace. I now have 5 weeks to get up to 10/11 miles and get a little faster as I'd like to be able to do the HM in 2hr 30 mins (or there abouts),

Happy running people! :)

Well there you are then! 7 miles = brill. 7 miles also = more than half a half marathon. If you can do that...etc etc!

I know I know...it's just that blasted gremlin (who I thought I had kicked to touch a while back) has been whispering in my ear! Need to keep repeating I CAN DO IT!
