Hit for Six

Well today was my first 6 miler and boy do I ache!! lol I was up at 0730 this morning for my usual routine, plus the additional taping of the nipples as it was a longer run, and out the door at around 0800.

I got it done in 59 minutes 14 seconds which is by no means Olympic time but its under 10 minutes a mile for a distance I've never run before, and I didn't stop at all, so I've got to be happy with that. Now usually I would be telling you that I'm off for a cuppa and a scone down town as it's Sunday...but my dear Wife has talked me into doing a two or so hour walk with her first!! Scandalous!! lol

So far, there have been 21 scheduled training runs with a total of 74 miles and I have managed them all...hands up who thought I'd have missed a couple by now?? :) Next week's schedule is the same as the last with 4 miles Tuesday and Saturday, 3 miles Thursday followed by my 2nd 6 miler next Sunday, but for now my running (if not my walking!) is done for the day!
