Another ‘fit it in’ run today – not too much time again, so we ran out on the quick 5K route. DP was a man on a mission, and kept the pace up (no doubt aiming for a PB this Sunday). It made me realise that I haven’t been pushing my runs too hard recently – more sitting in a comfort zone where pace is concerened – this is great as I’m training for distance really rather than solely speed, but I do need to pick up the pace a bit… The London 10K looms this Sunday and it would be good to get a time around 50 minutes…
Time: 26m 23s

It was really wet today. All day.

It was also the day we went to Goodwood (piccys over at Flickr). We had a good time, but the rain certainly dampened things a little. Emphasis was more on keeping going between attractions rather than basking in the sun and watching the worlds best drivers climb a hill in West Sussex. We did try the latter, but it wasn’t too much fun.

Bit of a longer run today – up and out at 8am, and kind of started off without knowing where I really wanted to go (not a good idea) so just ran for a bit, and everytime I thought I knew where I was going to go I seemed to change my mind when the turning point came to follow the route I intended.

Anyway, I ended up doing a longer run than usual, which was quite encouraging as I didn’t feel too bad afterwards. Also managed to bag a piccy of a fantastic view on the Bepton stretch of the run.

Time: 1h 34m

No running today – Ben’s last Sports Day at MPS. The little fella won the Sportsmanship Award this year – uber proud of the chap! Of course, as is tradition, Sports Day is always followed by a celebratory beer in the pub after – hence the lack of running!
There’s a piccy of him picking up the award over on flickr.

Just a quick run today as time is a little pressing (Jack’s Sax exam today…)

However – very nice little run; just one lap of the Midhurst 10K route (i.e. 5K)

Time: 26m 11s
