I know I only blogged recently but my 12 mile run this morning was eventful and what got me through was thinking about what I was going to write later! So as I might have said already I tend to do my long runs on a Friday for several reasons.
1. My PhD means I can be flexible with mornings.
2. I liked for my Prague training that I did this as it meant I was able to be more human after the race!
3. I can't get up and run for 2 hours while my boyfriend stays in the comfy warm bed.
So off I headed this morning in the dark conditions and jogged to Hyde Park! There were several events (pros and cons) to my run that I shall anecdote!
Pros Cons
The rain (cooling me down) The rain (so hard I couldn't open my eyes)
Fantastic route! Soggy runners due to many puddles
Friendly man ("Slow down, You're going too fast") Angry cyclist ("Thanks, well that f*$king helped)
Hit 12+miles!
Didn't watch my garmin
More pros then cons! Which was why it was a great run even with the torrential down pour! Roll on my nice slow recovery run tomorrow with the other half and then swimming Saturday. Race ready :)
