Sunday 03/08/08

We've gone out on our Sunday morning run as usual, according to our training schedule we were supposed to do 75-80 minutes, but due to the fact that neither of us read it, we both agreed that we had read 70 minutes.
Runners this morning were Rodders, Dave, Sgt. Major Copson, The Welsh Impostor and that woman that we don't remember who she is but Sgt Major Copson keeps inviting her and her husband brings a huge dog.

So, we ran around Chorlton Water Park, up to Jacksons boat bridge, round the Ees, through a bit of Sale water Park, then back down the Mersey (the route is on Motionbased - the joys of Garmin gremlin technology!!) In 73 minutes, we completed 6.2 miles, the pace was slightly slower than we wanted but it was supposed to be 11.00 - 12.00 minute mile pace so we did alright. Was a good run, felt quite easy - wasn't too hot a day which was also nice - it's great not to be too sweaty and hot. Felt like we could have run more, but we're sticking to the RW training schedule.Had a lovely stretch in our special stretchy hideaway, then back to my car for tea in my car cafe, and since it was the Welsh Impostors birthday, we also treated ourselves to a teeny bit of birthday cake!!

We know we can do 10k in 68 minutes, would have been nice to at least have matched that, hence the slow pace comment. Could have gone further cos we all had hangovers and we always seem to run better with them. Hurrah for hangovers. And NO we're not going to Mondays - even we don't deserve that!!!!!!
