Feeling a little pleased with myself this morning – I ran 8.7 miles (14 km), the furthest I’ve ever run in my life. And the time – 1:25:17, while not sizzling by any means at an average pace of 9:47/mile, is pretty good by my standards.
10 miles is now in my sights, but I will probably stick with this route for at least three more runs before I try to go further. I had a goal at the start of the year of being able to run for 2 hours. I’m not sure that I’m going to get there, but 1:45 should be feasible provided I remain injury free. Not too bad for an almost-44 year old
