Come on!!
Got up early had some breakfast, only a piece of toast and a cup of tea and I'm ready. It was a great morning really frosty but the sun was just peaking through. As previously advised, I only carried 1 water bottle.
It was a bit chilly for the first 10 minutes but then warmed up quite well.
I'd driven the route the day before to get an idea of the distance, it was a circle right around the outside of Yeovil, quite an up an down route of about 10 miles, so I needed to do it twice.
Route: Goldcroft, Combe Street Lane, Thorne Hill, Corpse Road, Lufton past the footy club, Crematorium Rd, Bunford Lane, West Coker Rd, Henford Hill, Nine Springs / Wyndom, Lyde Rd, past my old school and around again!
I quite enjoyed the run, stopping at various places to fill up my water bottle, much easier than carrying it all from the start!
It was hard towards the end my knee's were extremely achey, I must talk with Andy about this. I actually walked a little up the final hill which was slightly disappointing.
Overall though this has been a huge milestone for me, being able to run 20 miles is no mean feat!
It's an achievement and I must take the positive things from it.
My knees are the areas of my body which are hurting the most, the stretching classes may help this along with my core and breathing.
Time 3:25 hours and 20:25 miles.
