my first almost 11 miles

[tiggs1]

It wasn't fast by any stretch of the imagination but today is the day that I have been building up to and I felt amazing. My last mile was as strong as my first, my heart rate was in zone 2/3 for all of it and I got to try out my new hydration pack which was amazing even on a cool day like today.

Better still I got to meet with a friend who is training for her first marathon and do 6 miles of the route with her so we got to have a good ole natter on the way around.

My plan now is to run 10km once a month and 10 miles ish once a month from now until May then I will start my half marathon training properly as I would like to come in at around 2.5hrs so need to work on pace.

Happy running folks... i'm going to pop on over to the pinned post for my shiny new badge

Well done tiggs1. Distance first and pace later (if you even want to run any faster) works for me too. We occasionally have a run which is extra special (they are all a bit special 😊), a chance encounter with birds, animals or people....and an unexpected running mate really tops the list. You need a protein top up now ...and maybe a glass of something later 👏👏👏👍
