Not as long as I wanted my run to be today but longer than I thought than it was going to be just before I set off! Less than three weeks since the London marathon 11 miles was okay I guess but with 3 weeks to go until the Edinburgh marathon not long enough!
I really enjoyed when I first set off, ran the first two miles myself and then Pacepusher was meeting me at the police grounds in Pollock Park to run the rest of it with me. I was a bit worried as I was running round to the park as I had settled into a nice pace by myself and was enjoying the sunny weather so was worried I would get pushed around faster than I wanted by Pacepusher when he joined me. It was fine though, he kept to my pace until the last mile when he always goes off to finish much quicker than me. My legs died on 10 miles anyway so there was no chance of me finishing strongly. Up until 10 miles I had thought I would get about 13 miles done at least so a bit disapointed but I will just have to go out again next weekend even thought it will only be two weekends till the next one.
Did a bit of investigation when I got back about how many calories and grammes of carbohydrate are in jelly babies compared to gels as I had been concerned I was not getting enough energy. But in comparing 25 jelly babies to 4 GO gels I found that there are 500 calories and 117g of carbohydrates in the jelly babies compared to 440 calories and 88g carbohydrates in the 4 gels. So pleasantly surprised at that.
