I managed to sleep until 6.47am this morning, an improvement on 5-something yesterday (my alarm goes off at 6am in the week).
Practically a lie-in. Up at 7 to walk the doggo and to my dismay it was frosty/icy again. Luckily, a quick trek down the byway showed it wasn't frozen solid like it has been for the past couple of weeks. Coffee. Bran flakes. Then I was off. Loathe to cough up £5.50 for parking, I parked just out of town and ran/walked the three quarters of a mile to Sweatshop, and arrived feeling spritely. Memo to self: leave 10 minutes later next week to avoid hanging around. Having done a pacy Parkrun yesterday, I had already decided to keep a sensible pace and once we (finally) set off, I found myself running with someone whose name I still don't know! He and I stayed together pretty much the whole way, and I managed to run up the "big hill" on the route that I walked 2 weeks ago. "Zombies, Run!" kept me going when the going got tough; 2 degrees and raining isn't the nicest weather when you're sweating under your clothes and getting wet from the outside. Still, I made it and in a not-too-shabby time. My hamstrings are sore, but otherwise I'm feeling pretty good, sitting eating a bacon and cheese butty and glugging a coffee! https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Marathon-for-Archie Distance: 7.92 miles Time: 1:24:24 Average pace: 10:38 Fastest mile: 10:23 Type of run: Long Cardio fitness score: 40
