6 mile run - done!

My alarm was set for 0700 this morning but when I turned over at 0658 I thought...nah, and reset it for 0730!! Haha

So I was up at 0730 to run my cold bath, wash and get my spandex on!! With my nipples taped and my knee straps on, I was out the door at at 0800. I did a time check at 2 miles and I had done them in about 17 and a half minutes so I was on course for a good time. The 4 mile check read about 36 and a half minutes which was a bit slower for that break so I tried to step it up for the last 2 miles and ended up finishing the 6 miles in 55 minutes 31 seconds...2 minutes 13 seconds quicker than last week...very pleased indeed :)

I enjoyed today's run because I pushed myself and felt that I worked all the way out and all the way back. So I got back in, caught my breath, did my stretches and some sit-ups before getting in my cold bath for 5 minutes and just thought to myself ,"done"

So now I can enjoy the rest of my Sunday, starting with a trip down town and an appointment with a scone before putting the Crimbo tree up with Tracey later, but for now training week 8 has started well :)
