Another 6 miles - eventually
Managed another 6 miles yesterday, with a few interruptions though.
I was meant to do 1 mile jog (12 minute/mile), 4 miles brisk (about 10-11 minute/mile) and then another 1 mile jog to finish. I got 1 mile jog done but then needed the loo urgently so I hopped off the treadmill and went to the ladies and jumped back on, got 2 miles brisk done and dropped the speed a bit so I could have a rub down as I was getting uncomfortably sweaty so I took a 2 minute walk break and started again. I got another 1 mile brisk done and then I needed the loo AGAIN! So I hopped off the ladies again and came back to do one more mile briskly and a final 1 mile jog. So I did eventually do the plan in one go (ish)
When I came back I had a lovely brie and cranberry sandwich (mmmmmmmmmm) and had another nosy at the Runners World Forum to see how everyone else is getting along and then tried to figure out what I wanted to do for the rest of the day.
In the end I decided I needed a rest so I nipped out to the shops for a few groceries to see us through to the weekend and kicked back with my new book "Mostly Harmless" by Douglas Adams - it's the fifth part in the "Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy" series of novels and I'm loving every minute of it, the only down side is that it reminds me once again how much the world misses Douglas Adams, I was truly gutted when I heard of his death.
So today I have a completely free day - no work, no running. I am debating whether a trip around the galleries at Glasgow would be a pleasant way to while the day away.
