Spring is Springing
Mar1620105 p.m.
At last I can say what lovely weather we are having! Despite slightly heavy legs I can report I was quite looking forward to running in the sun today. 5 miles on the schedule, and after dropping the children off at their various educational establishments, I went home to hang some washing out and then set off. I thought I was going to be running in a strange fashion but happily I don't have too much stiffness or achiness after Sunday. I had a good session on my roller on Sunday night and then bobbed about in the swimming pool with my youngest yesterday, which loosened me up a bit.
So I set off today still feeling quite bouncy after Sunday, grinning from ear to ear! I felt fine all the way, and the pace was a bit faster than I was aiming at, I did 5.3 miles in 49:53 so a pace of 9.24 m/m. I didn't feel knackered so I am pleased. My only concern is a slight coldy feeling, courtesy of my husband. I really don't want another cold now having just got rid of one!
Still no piccies from Silverstone, but my official time was 4 secs quicker than my timing - hooray, officially a sub 1:55.
8 miles to do tomorrow, happy running!
