Wednesday 10th Sept, 8.55 miles, 1.17, 9.05m/m ave pace
9.57, 8.47, 8.45, 8.47, 8.42, 9.12, 9.09, 9.12, 9.16 for last 0.55
Average pace would have been faster I am sure if it was not for that slow first mile, but I did not mind it as it gave me a gentle start and a chance to chat!
I was determined I was going to the club last night and it did not even take too much self-persuasion to get out of the door although I was home much later than I thought I would be and so dinner was also late, which came back to haunt me a bit!
Before I start on a Wednesday I always wanted to do the shortest option as I am so worried about keeping up but then I am always fine once I start and there were a few different options last night. I ended up going for the longer option as Lesley wanted to do that with the Inverness marathon in a few weeks so I kind of knew I should be as well with Chicago only the week after Inverness.
I got a bit carried away with myself and went a bit fast trying to keep up with Sandra etc but realised a) that I could not easily keep up and b) I would be better doing the longer distance a bit slower. It did not feel like being out for 8 1/2 miles but it was a bit uncomfortable as my stomach was quite sore especially that last 2 miles. I think it was very impressive that Lesley and I did that last 2 miles considering we were the only ones, we passed our cars at just over 6 miles, it was pouring and it got really dark really quickly at that point!
There is no way I would have done that myself tonight so really glad I pushed myself out of the door and hopefully I am getting back into the habit of running again. That is 26 miles so far this week already which is more than I have done in a full week for ages and this one is only half way through!
