Prepared well, good stretching, piece of toast and off.
The route, well the suppose route: Home, Kings Cross, into the City down to Tower Bridge, along the Thames Pathway (west), Embankment, Hyde Park, St. Johns Wood, Primrose Hill and home.
Got lost around Commercial Rd, well didn't actual find Commercial Rd!
Ended up running around seeing all the sites Tower 42 and the Gerkin just trying to cut through to Tower Bridge, I eventually made it but by this time completely lost any intended rhythm.
It was good running the route that Sid and I had cycled last Saturday.
When I made it to Hyde Pk. I was feeling quite tired and lethargic again, had my second gel and cracked on. It wasn't cold just the odd spit of rain, quite good running weather, couldn't get it together.
I ploughed on but it was a slog, I was really pleased to get home and get in the bath!
In reflection, and after Andy giving me some experienced words!
1. I didn't get any pain or discomfort in my leg that has been injured.
2. Managed 17 miles under 10 mins pace.
"It's not always going to be fun, there will be good days and bad days. Some days it's just about getting the job done!"
Seems fair, I should be happy with that, ok I am!!!!
(still didn't like it.......)
