I did back to back 13 miles runs this weekend on Saturday and Sunday. The
weather was beautiful and I have a nice scenic route, so it was very enjoyable.
Also Saturday and Sundays are my long slow runs, so I was running at a very
slow 10 minute mile pace as that is what I want to do my ultramarathon at
(actually ended up being nearer to 9.30min mile pace despite trying to go
slower). This meant that when I got back I felt absolutely fine, much more
enjoyable than my shorter quicker runs in the week!

Well, I've jumped back on the bandwagon today with just over 2 miles after work. I think I need to get a headband though, it's now too mild to wear my hat & running jacket, but the cold breeze seems to be killing my ears! As stated in my last post I missed out on being able to run for almost 2 weeks so I decided to repeat week 4 of the couch to 5k podcasts and really didn't think I'd be able to do it, but with some determination and self inflicted mind-games I managed to do it all :rotfl:

I missed yesterday's run because I ached so much from digging in the garden so I went out tonight instead

Now it's getting a bit lighter in the evenings we've got a new 2 mile route which is quite flat but does have a couple of "hills". To me they're mountains :rotfl:

We did that plus another half mile, running and walking but mostly running

Keep up the good work :T

My running coach is mean. As part of this evening's club run, we had to walk up 88 steps.

I used to live in London. Unknown to me, there was a station not far from me which had 320 steps to the exit.:eek: Silly me, got off at that station and had to walk up all those steps.
