Shocking weather this morning. Alarm went off a bit too early and this combined with the very heavy rain meant that I elected not to go running, rather defer to the afternoon.
Good decision as it turned out.
So, JC and I set off for an 11 mile run/cycle which tested my knees and his gears. We stopped in Graffham to pose:
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

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
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
Good run today with David – usual (just under) 10K route to Tower bridge and back. Really must do this a bit more before the London 10K IN TWO WEEKS TIME! ARGH!
Time: 48m 50s
