Enjoyed the seafront run yesterday evening so much I decided to do it again today but this time as a recovery run. Only problem was that I did it mid morning (think I headed out at about 10:45 so it was warm - about 24 degrees. Glorious weather for a walk along the beach not so perfect for a run but I figure that sometimes you have to do it otherwise if you race in it you will be totally unprepared.

As you would expect loads of people around most of whom were great (saw a few looking at me like I was mad) But one or two dog owners were walking around with those huge dog leads that retract - now the prom must be 10 feet wide or more but the dog walked on one side and the owner the other and it was a bit of a hurdling event. Then some guy with a dog stepped sharp right and I almost ran into him. Not good

Was aiming for a good recovery pace of around 8 minute miles for the 7.5 miles but was around 7/8 seconds a minute faster than this.  Cant complain too much but will see how the weather and the run affect me on my LSR  tomorrow.

Well that's the running week over for now. Good mileage this week and stats

Runs: 6 Miles: 56   Average Pace 7:45 minutes a mile   Calories in fun sized Milky Ways 84
