Good Call, me!!!


Sometimes the extra days rest, to make sure that you are completely over a viral thing, is definitely worth it!

I woke up this morning with no hint of a sore throat and all glands were back to their rightful size.

So after the School run this morning I thought it would be a good opportunity for a decent, but not too long, 'leg-turner'. There was a chance that I'd be able to meet Lorna for a lengthier run later on, so I didn't want to go too mad!! And the weather was perfect, sunny but cool, and a slight breeze.

Fantastic.


My left calf had inexplicably cramped twice in the night and was a little stiff, but didn't stop me from running - and running quite nicely.
5 miles at an average of 7:23 min/mile. It was relaxed and comfortable. 7:30's are a Good Pace for me!

And a little later had a fantastic run with Lorna in between her work sessions.
12 miles at 9:12 min/mile.
Brilliant aerobic conditioning for me - and a stunning run for Lorna who is running better than I think I've ever seen her run.

And news hot off the press..... it looks like I'll be able to run a marathon this weekend. One off my 'Must-Do' list. So I'm really pleased about that :o)
