Good lunchtime run
Apr1620089:06 p.m.
Wendy and I went out to do the 3.7 mile route that we ran in 39 minutes last Tuesday. We set off well and Wendy was chatting away and it wasn't until around 2 miles that I realised we were running inside her usual 10 minute pace.
I kept the pace going and it didn't seem a problem to Wendy who was running well. As we got close to the finish I could tell from the time that we were on for a quick time and told Wendy we'd have to keep working hard to go under 37 minutes and that I thought we'd done 37 last week!!
We pushed to the finish in 35:44 as I expected under 36 mins. Wendy was very pleased with this especially when I told her we'd done 39 minutes last week so a big difference in speed and it wasn't too difficult.
I'm feeling good now most of the aches have gone, I'll do another session on the track tomorrow night then I'll rest until I run on Sunday.
Still not decided about going over to 2009 but as more people are leaving here I might have to make up my mind soon or have no one to talk to!

sjlinley 'Sounds like a good run. If I were Wendy, I might consider tripping you if you continued to lie to me! But I guess it is for the best when it makes her run faster, and she's really happy with the times. So keep it up, and let us know what your next goal/race is going to be.' added 16th Apr 2008

greenc 'I'm sticking around here for a bit. Not sure about moving over when I'm not planning on doing it next year. But if no-one is left here!? I want to have another go in two years when I have more experience. You don't have to move over do you? Tonight I am searching out 10k plans. Kim's making me feel disorganised! Your recovery has been amazing! That is such a good run. I bet your legs run in your sleep!!!! Take carex' added 17th Apr 2008
